    Your rear sight, a Lyman 48, does not go to 125 yards. With a 24" barrel the "125" is the number of MOA that the sight moves and I do not believe that the entire 125 is usable.

    It looks to me as if the front sight assembly is for a M1903 not an 03A3/03A4. Originally the rifle would have had no front sight.

    In my opinion the Remington 700 ADL at that price is a good buy. Jack O’Connor (an old time gun writer) believed that the 270 Winchester was one of the best rounds ever developed.

    I believe that the sight is on crooked, but it is for both the 03 and the 03A3. Look closely at the front view and at the bottom you will see this annotated.
