Help, please! My 336c is shooting 12" high.
I went to the range again today with my Marlin 336c (2008) my new Skinner (standard) rear peep sight. I again had to place two targets, one on top of the other, to see the the print on the paper. I am patterning 12" high at 50 yards with Federal, Remington, and Winchester 170 grains. I took 3 shots (9 shots total this round - allowing barrel to cool between shots) with all and though my groupings may be tighter with Federal, it is still too high for my liking. I did not replace the front sight yet so as it stands now I still have the Marlin factory front sights on. I want to get a new Skinner front sight, but after doing the "Front Sight Calculations", I do not feel confident in my calculations to order the correct size. I would like the sights to be "spot on" at 100 yards, but did not even attempt to shoot at a 100 yard target since my 50 yard shots are so high. I have been shooting for quite some time and already have a Skinner peep for my 1894 that works like a charm. Can you please help me and provide me with the proper front sight height for 100 yards or provide me guidance in how to get my peep sight "on target"? I do not believe it is something that I am doing since I am very familiar with all kinds of sights and have used very rests to try to correct the "problem" and not to mention that I have very consistent grouping every time I fire the 336c. Thank you for any help you are able to provide.
