Thanks Rowdy, but I haven't been out in the last 3-4 years. I'll have to get at'er!
Shrapnel: Maybe an optical delusion, but did you get your tang sight adjusted to vertical. I had the problem a few years back, and made a "sight square" out of a card tablet backer. I cut a wedge out of one side and relieved it for the action (in this case the dust cover) Set it on the level part of the action or barrel and use the wide end of the wedge to square up the sight staff. After sighting in you can pencil in the sight settings for a double check, or when moving sights from one gun to another. If you leave the narrow end square for about an inch, you could mark the foresight height on the same square as a record, or for calculations. The square could be used when a new sight is acquired, and once completed it stays with that particular rifle.
