I stated in a previous thread that I had a Remington P14 given to me by my grandfather. The owner before him had installed a cheap scope to the top of the reciever. Recently, I removed the scope and mount and replaced it with an original adjustable rear sight that I bought from a guy in the UKand took it to the range.
I don't have pictures, but the results show it shooting consistently about 6 inches high and a bit left at 100 yds. There seems to be no way of adjusting the elevation on the sights, but the beauty of peap sights is that you can change your sight picture. Looking down the sights, I aligned the front sight post so that it was lower than center until I was able to shoot a tight group on the bullseye. Once I was able to find an accurate sight picture (using a bench rest) I set up some bowling pins at 50 yds and knocked each one off from a standing unsupported position with no misses.
At that point I had run out of daylight, but I'll take it back to the range for more kentucky windage research. I'll be checking to see if it can be effective out to 200 or 300 yds.Information
