Anymore "replies".
Thanks for yours.
It was 3.7 inches up from the top of the receiver, to the center of the peep, at the back scope mounting holes ?
What may I ask are you shooting, and at what yardage is it sighted in for?
I find that measurement, in my head, would be about 2 ft high at 100 yds ?
I have shot open sights before, still do, and if you raise the rear sight , you must bring the muzzle up to aline the front sight, thus moving point of impact up.
I believe what you say with the 3.7 inches, but it doesn't make sense in my mind, that the rear site would be that high ? The factory rear site is no where close to that high, yet shoots groups at 100 yds ? Any higher rear base would bring the point of impact up.
What am I not understanding here ? Help .
