I would adjust the windage by moving the rear sight slightly to the left. Brace the gun firmly in a vise with some padding. Apply a strip of tape to the barrel, and another on the sight, close enough to each other so you can draw a line along the barrel across both pieces. That way, when you drift the base in the dovetail, you can tell how much you have move the sight. A minor adjustment is all that's needed.
You're the man. I did just that and nailed bullseye at 100 yards. Made a 1.5" group with 3 sabots. Went back over to 50 yards and was perfect on elevation but off to the left about an inch or so, but I only shot once shot just to save $$$. Used the Remington Premier Tips and they were wonderful. Too bad I didn't find them sooner!!
