Anyone know where to find tall front sight for 03-A3. rifle is shooting 20" high @ 100 yds.

Are you sure that something else is not wrong? I can put rounds dead center into an SR1 target at 100 yards using factory ammo. 20 inches at 100 yards would mean your minimum elevation would be about 400 yards by the tragetory I looked at.

Somthing is wrong! I have a front sight that is to short. There were a series of different front sight hights that were listed as A-E I think. A-tallest, E-shortest. Was hoping that maybe someone was making aftermarket or that some secrete shash was just recetly found.
Well, wanted to try cast bullets in it so it should be about right on for them.
Still, would really like to have the correct sight for it.
