Thanks Ray. I did know that much already - but I'm not sure on adjusting elevation on this unit. The front sight is a fixed blade and the rear sight are the express leaves in a dovetail. Windage is no problem, but not sure about elevation. Unless it's just not a big concern. I imagine that the 270 and 300 gr bullets do have a different POI, and was just curious if anyone knows what ammo the factory uses for initial sight settings. I'd bet it's a European brand with 270 gr bullets, but wasn't sure. maxman
The front sight bead/blades are interchangeable. CZ has different heights, so decide on the ammo that you want to use. Shoot enough groups to tell where it is hitting at the distance you want to sight in for (normally would be 100 yards or meters). Then take the front sight bead/blade off to see what number it is marked (factory numbered for the height). Now call CZ USA, and tell them how much too high or low you are hitting, and the distance, and they will exchange for the proper height unit.
At least this was the procedure for a previous CZ of mine, and I will be doing this on my CZ 550 in 416 Rigby soon. Both were shooting a bit low for me.

| Anyone know what ammo (or at least the performance parameters) is used to zero the factory express sights on the CZ's? I put my deposit down on a 375 H&H American last week, and I was going to pick up some ammo for it - but I'm not sure what flavor to get. I plan on scoping it next year after researching proper optics a little better, but would like to start shooting it with the regular iron sights when I pick it up. The express leaves are not the most adjustable sights I have used, but I do lke the picture looking through them. thanks, maxman |

| It won't make any difference, pick the ammo you like and intend to use, then sight the gun in yourself...One has to sight a gun in to his personal eye prescription and how he holds the rifle etc. etc.....You can do that with the first box... |

| My own Brno ZKK 602 came with a target from the factory quoting a Sellier & Bellot ammo in 270 grains. Czech stuff of reasonable accuracy. |

| I�ve also used Winchester Power Point factory ammo with the same POI.
Good luck |
