All my rifles are set for 6 O'clock

Casper - on what size bullseye and where do they strike, ie: how high above the bead or blade are they. If a bead front sight, you'd have to add to the actual elevation one half of the diameter of the bead at any range. So- at 100yards, if the bead subtended 6", and to see the bead below a thoretical bullseye of 6" diameter, you'd have to hold roughly 1" low. Add them together that to hit the centre of the bull, the bullet would have to strike 3" (1/2 bead dia.) + 1" (visual clearance to see sight at 6 o'clock) + 3" (1/2 diameter of a 6" bullseye) above the centre of the bead - so- the bullet would have to strike an actual 7" higher than the centre of the bead. Since the bead covers more and more target at longer ranges - how do you figure where the bullet is in relation to the top of the bead?

Sorry but I cannot see any advantage to having to aim under everything due to the huge elevation given.

I would re-sight them all - correctly, to hit centre of the bead at 100yards with the 100yards sight. Thus, the sights would then be trust worthy.

A 6 o'clockhold with a bead just doesn't work well on game animals or paper. - A blade front sight as on military rifles does however, work well on paper targets - at known ranges & standard military targets are being fired upon.

in my opinion
