    read all that but its nothing to do with what I asked.

    If I shoot with Mk7 ammo and have to put the sights 100 yards higher than the target range how much lower foresight do I need to put on the rifle? there must be some reference chart to use for this. some one must have worked it out years ago.
    With this rifle if I shoot with Mk 7 or my hand loads I hit almost the same spot on the target at 400 500 and 600 but the sights are not calibrated properly. The sights that are on the rifle are replacements that I put on. The front and rear sights were missing and a no drill scope mount was fitted to the rifle when I got it.
    I have searched the topics and have not found what I need to know. The other choice is to buy a selection of front sights and try untill I find the correct height.
    thanks for helping me with my frustrations

    Seems you have a problem then. We've come up with various things...maybe you should go back to the drawing board.
