Ok
I hope I can explain this right lol.
I'm in the process of building a 257 Roberts on a small ring Mauser. For this build, I decided to stick with open sights, although I D/T'd the side for a receiver sight.
I did all the math for a standard small ring with 7mm, military sight set, measured from the top of the sights to what center of bore would be.
Then, after screwing the new Roberts barrel on measured to center of receiver sight aperture to center of bore.
I'm putting a ramp on for the front sight, and have the math set for what height blade/bead front sight I need by this ratio vs. military, but am leary being identical to military because of those being regulated to 300 meters.
And the Roberts will be a few hundred fps faster than the 7mm.
Any idea how much higher or lower a front sight I'd need? I would assume it would need to be a bit taller because of the gain in fps.
I'm wanting zero to be about 150 yds. And no, I haven't fired the gun yet to even see what's what.
Just kinda wanted to get a good ball park before I pull the trigger.
Thanks.
