I've had a pretty nice Enfield reproduction (Parker Hale) for 8 or 10 years. Don't shoot it nearly enough, but it's a blast when I do. Lots of fun.
I'd shoot it more if it didn't shoot so high. I understand it's set, more of less, for longer ranges. I can shoot out to 230 yards on my range, but most of my steel targets are set at between 50 and 80 yards. I have to hold under the target about a foot, and it still hits high on the target.
Sights are all the way down and I'm taking as fine a bead sighting as I can. I'm thinking about taking off the rear sight,as I did with my old Trapdoor.
Anybody have any suggestions? I'm not a re-enactor. I am pretty much a traditionalist, but I'd even consider replacing the rear sight with something else lower if it's not obnoxious looking.
Thanks for any tips. This is a great gun - very accurate! I just don't enjoy aiming at dirt in order to drop a turkey, pig, or ram!
