Finally got the sights right
Ordered these a few weeks ago and got them put on last week. The front sight in a wee bit low, i am shooting 4" high @ 50 yards with 70gr goex 3f, .018 pillow tick. Almost had 3 shots touching today at 50 yards with it. Perfect muley load. I'll see how it does as 100 yards. May end needed a higher front sight though. Although i guess i could file down the rear sight to move my POI down a bit, Hmm i just may have to try that once i get out to 100 yards with it.

It looks like you have plenty of room to work with on that rear sight Devil. If you want to get a feel for how much you would need to remove from the rear sight before doing anything permanent, add a little "temporary" height to the front sight with duct tape.
Shoot it with the higher sight. Then cut a little off and shoot again. Keep cutting a little off until you are on target. However much you added to the front is the amount you will need to remove from the rear.
