My Lane sight arrived, a few minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner after soaking in Simple Green and it was clean as a whistle and in excellent shape. I re-oiled, re assembled, and started to fit to my rifle.

I ordered a set of screws for a PH 5a sight from Evans Custom Screws and More, wonderful things they are, well made. They also fit and worked with my Lane sight.

Question, I need to shim the lower screw that goes through the trigger guard to get the proper alignment so my elevation changes do not induce windage.

I would like to mount up the rifle level and square, then install the sight and shim the lower screw so the sight is also level and square. How do I do that? I can't seem to figure out what my reference point on the action would be.

Thanks,

DAve
