WLA M53 Shooting Low

Post by Uhlan »

I figured I'd ask a dumb question :oops: :oops: :oops: ! Besides raising the front sight, are there any other options for raising my point of impact....ah....10-20ft at 850 yds? I haven't been able to shoot less than 810yds so I have no clue as to how many degrees of angle I'm off. Seriously I was wondering if anyone had any geometry equations for sight manipulation handy? Thanks ahead of time!

Uhlan: Be advised that for the front sight, Down=Up/Up=Down. To raise your Point Of Impact at 800 Meters, Down= PLENTY. Good shooting!!!!!

To raise the point of impact, pull the trigger harder.

WLA M53 is built on new receiver that may be out of specification. Only rear sight is adjustable for elevation and if it shooting too low on lowest setting 200m, then receiver is not properly built.

Uhlan,

How bad off was the sighting?

Were you aiming like a regular rifle/handgun and the bullets were going higher then you expected or just the opposite?
