None and none. I just thought you wanted a distance from the rear scope hole to the center of the peep so I took a Marbles tang sight out of the pile and threw it on an EG in 243 and measured. I don't have alot of guns with both scope holes and tang holes. Most of my Savages were made in 1896 and my shooters are all post 1960 tang safeties I use for hunting.

You do have a factory rear sight on your gun correct? I do notice that when I put a tang sight on I have to really raise it up to get it over the rear sight. Have you ever thought about putting a slot blank in the rear sight dovetail which in turn would bring your poi down? Or think about dropping your front sight to a different number to swap it for a lower one? What number is stamped on your front sight, a 28 or a 34?
