The Krag already shot a bit high... 4" high at 25 yards. For a 100 or 200 yard zero it should be pretty close to the point of aim
at 25. 0.53" low with a 100 yard zero and 0.18" high with a 200 yard
zero.
This is a 525 yard zero according to my Nikon Spot-On app. I have no intention of shooting that far.
The new rear sight will be higher than the buckhorn it's intended to replace. That will make the bullets impact even higher...
I already need about a 0.011" taller sight to get a 100 yard zero.
The front sight base has a standard 0.375" dovetail.
It's 0.520" from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the blade.
It's 0.243" wide and 0.832" on top of the shelf.
The blade itself it pinned to the front sight, making this a three-piece sight.
The blade is 0.0625" wide and is 0.375" ish... tall.
The hunt is on!
Well, it will be once I get the new sight on the back end and see what this does to the impact point.
If I did the math right, I need a 0.750" tall front sight to get a zero that hits 0.53" low at 25 yards for a 100 yard zero.
