Are you shooting from a supported position? Mine seems to shoot about 4" to the left and a couple
inches low at 25yards. I've not done anything to it, yet, but I did order and receive a new front
site. Haven't put it on yet.

Yes, what I would describe as loosely bench rested. It's easier when
you are trying to get the sights zeroed even though my sling supported
prone position is almost as steady.

I've odered a new, adjustable front sight per Tim's recommendation but
it's not yet clear whether or not I'll be able to use it in our
antique rifle competition. It may turn out that I don't need it.
Making a slightly deeper notch in the rear sight has made a big
difference in acquiring a decent sight picture. With more practice I
may be good to go. Stay tuned.
