Bigmo;

I have a 1918 BSA that soots low at 50 yards too. I had to set the rear sight at 400 yards to bring it up. Raising the rear sight raises the point of impact.

What ammo were you shooting. I was shooting S&B 150 grain rounds. The sights are originally calibrated for Mk VII ball ammo with a 174 grain slug as I recall.

I'll have to go shoot her again with 'proper' ammo and see what happens.

Happy Thanksgiving All!
