This is my first post. I have been coming here on and off for a year or so. I have 3 Garands in 30-06, 2 SA and 1 H&R. I also have 2 Garands in 308.
My questions are about the 2 308 Garands I recently acquired. On one of the rifles, when I fire the elevation drops back 1 click. I couldn't figure out why I could not get a decent group until I noticed this and the sight screw on the elevation side was loose. I turned it till snug and it still does not hold the elevation. I assume I will need to replace something worn out, the questions is what is worn that is allowing the elevation to drop when I fire.
The second Garandicon was all over the place when I tried it out the first time. When I got home I noticed the rear aperture was loose, wobbling loose. i had a new NM aperture so I replaced it and took it out to the range today. I was unable to zero at 100 yds because at the lowest setting I was still 16" - 18" high. Is this because the hood is not letting it go down far enough? This is the standard sight with the NM aperture. Is a tall front sight available? I can put a standard aperture back that is snug.
Thanks, Ken
