The rifle your posted in the pic appears to have a ramp rear sight with a lot of adjustment left in it. Rais the rear sight and you should be able to sight it in. Lift the strip that has the rear sight on it and slide the ramp rearward.
This is my second trip trying to sight it in. On the first one we all debated these two points. I took it to a gun store, and they said to raise it up. I have tried both. All the way up and all the way down. No real luck with either. Not sure what to do. I don't want to put a scope on it. I love the traditional look.
