I asked before but, forgot,, "old timers" disease

Cresent Wrench but don't bend front sight to much might brake it off. Another way is to try different brands of ammo they don't all shoot the same. My Ruger 22match rifle likes the remington golden bullets. Sold at Wal-Mart for about $8.50 550 rounds.



Good luck now what did I say?

If it's shooting low, you can just carefully file your front sight down bit by bit till you bring the bullets up where you want them. I had to do that with my Mk II.

I don't like the idea of bending your front sight. By the way, that will also LOWER your sight's height and thus change you elevation as well.

HOPEFULLY you don't need windage adjustment.

I had a Virginian Hamerelly (Spelling?) the front site was crocked from the factory by carefully aligning it with a crescent wrench I was able to get it on for windage. I do not recommend this method lightly if two much pressure is applied the sight may brake off. I do not recommend filing the front sight down it will devalue the gun IMHO.

Bring a vise you can attach to a range bench, protect the side of the barrel and put it in the vice, make sure the cylinder is removed, put as big a dowel rod through the frame as you can and twist to adjust.
