Sounds like the dovetail might be a tad oversized as well as have uneven surfaces. I would try a second rear sight, and when you get it sighted in try some sealant on the sight and dovetail. I have a Marlin 336, been there, done that.
I have been looking for a "universal" sight pusher for a while, really haven't found one, it seems they really have to be tailored to each firearm.
