Done some adjusting with Pop's 348 and wanted to shoot a couple of rounds to test it.
It always shot high for me and I didn't know what to do about it. High enough that it caused me some concern on game because it required a certain amount of guessing as to exactly how low to hold. I already had the rear sight ramp as low as it could go. When I actually took the time to look closely, Winchester already thought of this potential problem. The buckhorn sight is milled into 2 separate pieces with a tiny set screw. The rear piece sits inside a rail of the main buckhorn V. Loosening that screw allowed the rear piece to slide down against the sight base, which moved it down quite a bit.
Shot at 50 yds. First shot was success as in way low for a change, so now I had lots of adjustment available the other way. Adjusted the main ramp up and it shot center. Next shot I put low, and the 3rd right back in close to center. Pop's old model 71 would make me feel good inside if all I could do is hit a pie plate. So blessed to be able to live the experience.
