Replacement milsurp iron sights to correct high fall of shot

[dromia]

A good fore sight fix for any military rifle fore sight is to get an spare fore sight, find some one handy at metal work. Have the blade ground off flat with base, have a hole drilled and tapped in the base to accept a suitable sized grub screw which then can be easily altered up or down to adjust POI. A horizontal hole can also be drilled and tapped into the vertical hole for keeper screw, me, I just use loctite to secure at the correct hight.

Saves a lot of faff on swapping over foresights and the original can be put back if you want to sell on.

my .303 shoots bull high at 300 with reloads/PPU... tried some S&B ... shoots a good 12" low

Wow, I didn't realise that there was such a difference. I guess it pays to stick to a certain brand of ammunition then.

I find S&B quite a hot load - certainly shoots a fair bit higher from a nominal 200yds zero than expected in my No.4.
