My target from Saturday looks a bit wild, but seriously, I started standing at fifty yards. Those are the upper right ten shots. Then I did some major sight corrections on the rear sight, moving it far left and down then I ended up left of the target still high shooting prone without sling. So I then adjusted a bit back and shot from the bench with sling and was close enough for the day. I intend to refine the sights, prone with sling, at twenty-five yards, soon.
Now that brings up my OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder, my Stevens model 414 Armory is a beautiful old target rifle, but for me to shoot it where I am aiming the front sight is far right and the rear sight is cranked far left. Which does put my shot on target, but I don't think I am that crooked, the rear sight must have been placed wrong when it was set up. That makes me think I should put an adjustable sight on the receiver, but then I would feel the loss of the 'cool' in the original purchase that makes me so happy, even now. Constant struggle, luckily, I am so frugal that if it isn't broken, it isn't getting fixed. Unless the Lottery slams my way. And we are betting that won't happen soon.
All in all, you were still minute of bad guy. And if the sights 'work' for you, it's all good.
