I got the correct sight for my rifle but the tang sight doesn't line up right. The upright detent has the tang sight leaning back just a little bit, in other words I have to push the top of the staff forward about 1/2 inch for it to provide the correct picture. Is there anyway to fix this short of getting a new sight? Thanks for any info.

If you have a Soule type tang sight, your notch spring should be slotted to allow the sight to be plumbed to the rifle. Loosen the screw and adjust the spring.

I might be SOL and just have to get another sight. I'm sorry I should have mentioned what sight I have. It is the Pedersoli RS-CREED-3-E base is a RS-Creed-Base to fit hole spacing. This sight does not have an adjustable spring, the spring fits in a slot milled in the base and is held in place with the base of the staff.

Sorry I couldn’t help. It looks like a nice sight though.

Try taking the staff off and turning the spring around detent may not be in the center.

This may be a "Mickey Mouse" way of doing it, but why not put a spacer of some type under the tang sight to raise/lower one end to get the correct "stance". You could have a wedge shaped spacer could avoid a gap in the fit. Just a thought.

Well I solved the problem, I took the staff off and took my Dremel and slowly worked the forward edge of the notch forward and the gave the spring a little more bend to fit in the notch more and world of wonders it worked. Just goes to show I do get something right. LOL.
