gentlemen;

I have an .22 semiautomatic rifle, the best ammo it likes , and never cause a stoppage is your fine American eagle ( God should bless federal), but it is printing about two feet high at fifty five yards, tha rear sight is at the bottom of the scale and all seems to be rigth, I don´t use a scope , because my shooting fellows avoid it. any help?
 
What kind of 22 is it? Sounds like a Nylon 66 that I'm refinishing right now but it isn't shooting that high.
 
Not sure what the problem is with your sight,but if you shoot enough it will probably just become second nature to aim where you know it's going to hit,people do this a lot with a slug gun at shots over 100 yards....Aim a little high if over 100 yards,and a LITTLE low if under 100 yards.....Of course a rifle is different but this is just an example,experiment with aiming a little low for a short term solution to your problem.....Best of luck.
 
it sounds to me almost as if someone goofed with the sights for some reason. maybe the barrel is misaligned to the action or bent. Maybe a previous owner filed the sight.

If accuracy is working, take some epoxy putty, goop a glob on front sight blade, then file when set to make a raised blade, file to proper height while testing with live fire.

My thoughts.

Gentlemen, my untrusty .22 was made in Argentina, and is made of solid machined steel, when you open de bolt it remains open, savy people say , it fires with an open chamber, also called advanced percussion, the same way as your famous " grease gun", the face of the bolt has a vertical line that samacks the catridge in two points at the same time, making a sure ignition of the rim compound, it is not a fine rifle but is heavy and steady. thanks for your help.Robin
 
Just a guess, but it sounds like the tip of the front sight was broken off. Either way, the front sight is too short and needs to be replaced. Find one that is about .050" taller (1.25mm taller).
