I have a 336 in .30-30 and 39A .22 I bought new back in the 70's. Many years ago I replaced the factory sights with receiver rear and front post. Not paying attention, I put both rear sight assemblies in the same box without identifying which rear sight came off of which rifle. The time has come to sell the 336, so I want to return the sights to original configuration. I notice now that the blades are of different height. In the photo below, the sight on the left has a distance from the bottom of the blade to the top of about 0.136". On the sight on the right that distance is about 0.23". The elevators off the 2 sights are exactly the same as is the height of the original front beads.
My guess is that the blade with the greater 0.23" height is the correct one for the 336. My reasoning is that due to it normally being fired at longer distances than the .22 39A it would need to start with more rear elevation for zeroing at 100+ yards at which a .30-30 would more likely be fired.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for your help
