I thought the procedure on a single action like that is to file down the front sight a bit to raise the group and have a gunsmith rotate the barrel slightly to cant the front sight right or left to move the groups. If it shoots that far off at 7 yards though, you got a problem, I think. That is way out of the ballpark and I might send it back to the mfr. or something. If it was that far off at 25 yards, I could see making adjustments, but that close, something must be out of whack in my opinion. I would think you could shoot it closer than that without sights at 7 yards.
