Not too bad at all.
Also as they get hot they seem to wander more. Closed in barrel, contact etc.
Shrinking the rear aperture does help the sight picture a lot.
Its the only iron sighted rifle I can shoot worth a hoot.

Since that outing I plugged and redrilled the aperture. I think the drill size that fit the stock aperture measured about .095. I drilled out the JB Weld plug with a .062 drill IIRC. I have some rifles with smaller apertures. But this size hole frames the front sight ears just right to my eye. I also placed the hole in the lowest part of the plug. This puts the aperture center about .015 lower than the original. All this is on the base aperture, not the ladder aperture. Hopefully this will lower my group a little bit at 100 yd without having to fuss with the ladder aperture, which I never find as secure as I would like. I am used to how the aperture sight is firm on an M16 and M14. They didn't quite do that a hundred years ago.
Anyway, its been fun!
Ready on the Right! Ready on the Left! Ready on the Firing Line. Commence Firing!
