Default Rear sight not tight.

Well, I got my Remington Genesis a few days ago. Had to wait until Christmas to open it. I really like the feel of it however, after toting it around with me for the day to a buddies house I noticed the rear sight was moved all the way to the left. I didn't remember that so I pushed it and it moved back to the center. It doesn't move super easy but not super hard either. As you can tell it moved on it's own. I'm afraid if I tighten down anymore on that little screw I will break it. Should the rear sight be to where it wont move unless you loosen the screw or is how mine is normal? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

It sounds like the windage screw is loose. Take a small screw driver and with fingers only, tighten it. Once it catches it usually holds. If you can not get it to hold, contact Traditions Arms.
