I need some help!!!
« on: October 11, 2006, 06:00:36 PM »
I purchased a 10" .22LR Bull Barrel that came with a scope mount but no rear sight.  I installed a bull barrel rear sight that I had laying around and headed to the range.  I was somewhat surprised to find that with the rear sight set as low as it would go, my point of impact was 6" higher than point of aim.

My question for those of you who have experience with Contenders, is there different rear sight heights or rear blade heights for these sights?  What sight should I be using?

Best regards,

For a 10" contender 22LR barrel you need a "LOW" rear and a #6 front sight. T/C has three rear sights LOW, MED and HIGH. The #6 front  sight is .530" high.  I would call T/C and get a LOW rear sight. hope this helps, Twyman

Thank you Twyman, I will give them a call.  I was not aware of the different sight heights.

Thanks,
