Was at the range for other stuff and took the long rifle along to verify nothing was amiss.
At 100 yards, the polished brass front sight is not easy to see against most paper targets. To help, I used a 12"x12" Shoot-N-See paster. It's still tough to be precise with sight picture.
My expectation from how the rifle is regulated is +2/2.5" at 50 and -1/1.5" at 100.
Result:
The windage is me. No question in my mind. Just tough to really be precise on sight picture/alignment on the target. The sights look phenomenal on deer hide in the woods. That's what they're meant for.....shooting tiny groups out far? Not so much.
The elevation is spot on, and it's just a shade left, again, almost certainly my doing.
And yes, it makes a big honkin' hole....
