Question for those of you who shoot these that would be willing to help out.
I recently bought this rifle and it is in excellent shape. It has been years since I shot a 30-06 so I immediately went out to see how this old rifle shot.
I bought Remington 150gr factory bullets. At 25yds this rifle would consistantly group 3-4 rounds to the point of touching. The 25yd groups were 4 inches high. When I moved to 100 yds it was still shooting good groups but it was shooting 8-9 inches high.
Not counting the fold up elevation sight that has adjustments from 200-1600yds there is no elevation adjustment on the rear battle sight, best I can tell it is fixed.
I am assuming that the gun should be zeroed for 100yds
Now my question: What bullet weight was this gun designed to shoot to get things back to normal?
Is there any way to adjust the elevation on the rear battle sight?
