Remington Model 24 Front Site measurement
Hi All,
If anyone has a Model 24 short only, I need a dimension from the top of the barrel to the pipper on the front site as I think mine be after market. Having a hard time bring a solid group down to the bull. Rear site is down all the way and suspect front site is just the wrong height for the gun. Thanks, [email protected] |

Measure your current sight, decide how much too short it is by calculating. Remember, distance low/distance from rifle to target (in inches) = amount too short/distance between front and rear sight. For example, if you are hitting 6" too high at 25 yds and 18" between sights:
6/900=.006666666667 .006666666667*18= .12 in this example, your front sight would be .120" too short, so order one that is .125"-.135" taller (because the rear sight is bottomed out). Just substitute the actual numbers for your calculations, then order a front sight from Brownells, Midway, etc, etc. Just remember, if you are hitting too high, your front sight is too short; too low means your front sight is too tall.

Thank you very much. That calculation works perfectly.
