And J words...sorry.lol
...I had to show off my 100 yard, three shot group today while I was adjusting my sight.
All three shots went on the same hole approx 4.5” high...yes...the same hole!...with the original open sights and unaltered rifle. I was trying to zero it at 100 yards and shot about a 2” group low and left. I pushed my front post left and shot about an inch right, low, and approx a little under a 2” group if I had to guess. I slid my peep up and pushed my front post pack to the right a hair and retested. I put two shots in the same hole in the bulls and the third maybe 2” low. I was shooting with a piece of tape over my shooting glasses with a pinhole through to try and help my dominant eye focus better on the front blade. I removed my glasses and shot. That’s when I shot the “one holer”. For some reason my POA shifted 4.5” high without the shooting aid. I then slid my peep all the way down and shot the last two rounds I had hitting a hair low of center and then a little to the right.
I should have bought a lottery ticket today!
Here’s my 100 yard three shot group using the original iron sights. The other two shots towards the bullseye I’m guessing we’re from someones 223 as I was using an abandoned target someone left.

Here’s the last two rounds after the final adjustment. I’m calling it good.

I was pretty impressed with myself and my half a century old eyes today! I found out the gun shoots better than I can with open sights, unless I can hold it still enough. I wasn’t expecting this out of a rifle that wasn’t bedded, didn’t have a 1.5lb target trigger, or a high power optic on it. Now if I could only shoot that tight with it every time I pull the trigger!
