    If you are decided on using CMPicon supplied Hornaday match ammo, then your best option is to establish the very best zero you can for the distance at which you will be firing. Personally, I'd take a file to the front sight. That is what I did with my 03-A3. The on target results have been gratifying indeed. JMHO. Sincerely. BruceV.

    well really do not have any choice but to use the cmp ammo for the cmp matches....
    and thanks for your advice but in my post i said i needed to shave the front

    sun i shot only three round groups and since i had a new rear sight i had no idea of zero wind but the first three shots were three inches from center line right

    adjusted and next three were on the center line but still low

    came up to the click between 200/300 and it was tight group at the 9/10 ring with two tens and one nine

    moved (i think the front sight down 1 1/2 moa)

    thanks

    went from 1.489" (combined) to 1.477" not much
