    Its always a great feeling when you get one set up and working just the way you want it. :yesway:

    It was a pain though because the sights on my rifle are non adjustable. So I cut up some feeler gauges yesterday and drilled them to make shims for the rear sight. After trial and error of combining different sizes I got it pretty darn close I think.

    I didn't show the target that I used Wolf Match Extra on though, it was pretty much dead center in the bullseye. The Wolf is the stuff I'd be using in the next Appleseed so I can qualify Rifleman again with iron sights.

    Sounds like a great solution! Good job.

    :rockwoot: way to go!!

    I just got my new rifle put together, still need to float the barrel though. It's only got irons on it right now. Gonna work on my vision issues this evening and see if it's even possible to shot irons. :fogey:
