Quote: I didn't getting around to sending my email - I was going to measure my front sight height and see if the Recknagel replacement would still be tall enough. Did your 416 Rigby or 375 shoot high? My 375 was okay with the open sights.
Yes my 416 was shooting 6 inches high at 50mts- with the fibre optic front sight I had Rob Bloomfield fit- so I wound the aperture down as low as it would go and I was still 4" high at 50mts. I have not yet had a chance to try the new taller front sight. It is on the rifle just waiting for a chance to try it.
The original fibre optic sight is 6.2mm the Recknagel one is 7.8mm.
