Remington Genesis Problems

[claydee]

I recently bought Remington Genesis, when it came to sighting in with the factory iron/fiber optic sights...
1st 3 shots 8"low 50 yards.... move rear ramp sight forward & up....
2nd 3 shots 6" low 50 yards... move rear ramp sight ALL the way forward & up
Next 3 shots 5" low at 50 yards...
I can't move the rear sight any higher to adjust for shooting low. I want to have 1 muzzy with iron sights for Wisconsins
Muzzy season ( no Scopes )
I was shooting a 240 grain Hornady/Sabot with 2-50 grain 777 pellets

Do I need some kind of spacer under the rear sight???
No matter who shot the gun it consitently shot low.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

call traditions *they make the remington* and tell them of the problem. Also, you will get a lot more help if you post in the Blackpowder forum.

Clay - I believe you can use a scope for ML season in WI. Just no magnification. (1X). As for the iron sights - have you tried shooting at 75 or 100 yds? You may be plesantly surprised where it hits.

I had the same problem with mine. I'm shooting 300gr sst with 100 gr 777 (2 pellets). I was just talking with a guy at the range and he said lap the barrel so I did. With the site all the way forward it was dead on at 50 yds. after another 10 shots it was grouping good. Got a shot on a nice doe and put it over her back at 45-50 yds down hill of me. I had a 40 yd target for practice and I was 6" high. I guess he was right when he said it will rise when it breaks in and you will have to re-ajust the site. From what I have learned they do some type of coating on the barrel for storage purposes.

Why is this in the classified section? This needs to be moved to the muzzleloader discussion section.

Try going to 110 or 120 gr of loose powder and I'm sure it'll be a lot closer if not dead on. Ever think about scoping it?
