Winchester 52 D, elevation problem
After many many years of searching for a Win. Mod 52 D I finally found one. I had an indoor bullet trap built and have fired the first 50 rounds into it today. However, I cannot seem to adjust the rear sight low enough to get onto the target. Windage is just right but it it is shooting consistently high to the 5 ring.
The rifle has Redfield sights. Is there some way to adjust the sight to shoot lower? |

I wouldnt mess with the rear sight. To lower the impact, I would get a higher base for the front sight.
Go to the Brownells website. They have the formula to figure how much you need to come up with the front sight to lower the impact you desire. Then buy a base accordingly. Quote:

Wow, fast reply. Thanks. I'll go there and give that math a whirl. Right now the rear sight is setting on top of the block, no more adjustment downward. When I was a young lad I never had this problem with my former 52 D.

do you have a link for that formula? I don't see it anywhere on their site.
