10/22 Zeroing factory sights

I finally got back to the range with a bigger hammer and was able to move the rear sight. I am now out of adjustment in both windage and elevation (4 inches low and two inches right, at 21 feet). Note that the rear is drifted about 1/4 inch off the centerline (the front sight appears to be centered in its dovetail).

Probably time to contact Ruger for a fix to the bore / sight alignment. The barrel may have been bent at the factory or wasn't placed in the jig properly when the site dovetails were cut.

Thanks for the advise. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't over looking something before contacting Ruger.
