There is a way to figure out how much to take off the front sight WITH OUT screwing it up.

Set the rear sight at 100 yards. or a mark you want to use for 100 yards. (enough to give you the elevation changes you want at further ranges.)

Shoot the rifle and see how high it is at 100 yards.

Now measure the sight radius. Divide the sight radius by 3600, that will tell you how much of the front sight you need to remove to move the impact 1 MOA.

(the 3600 number comes from 3600 inches in 100 yards.)

Example: lets say your sight radius is 22 inches (I don't know what it is on your rifle).

22/3600 = .0061 so each .0061 you take off the sight will move the impact .0061. If your 10 inches high, then you take off .061 which would zero your sights at 100 yards.
