Roger will do grandpamac. I really appreciate your help. I thought I was on the right track, thinking I needed a taller front sight, it wasn’t until I started this thread that some possible solutions...

@grangpamac, thanks for your reply.

Pictures as requested

Yes, deepening the V was a consideration, but a bit rangi bro…..

I’ll see what’s like at 200 then reconsider.

Yes. From what I’ve read and looking at the marking on the rear ramp it’s a 200 yd zero.

It was Dad’s, so it’s not going anywhere, it has to be usable.

So the idea is to sort Dads Long Tom for the lad down south.

It was plurry wet and slippery up the track, so only had a play at 100yds. I’m happy with the windage but it’s 19” high at 100.
