Cooey Ranger .22 - Shoots High

[gyates93]

Hello guys,

I recently purchased a Cooey Ranger tube fed .22 from the EE, and had 'er out to the range. The rifle shoots great, except for the fact that its WAY high at 25 yards, even with the rear sight adjusted downwards as far as possible. Has anybody experienced this problem or does anybody have a remedy for the situation?

Is there anywhere that stocks higher front sights for these rifles?

Thanks!

Is the front sight replaceable? If so, a taller front sight would be another option you have.

Aim lower.

Put the barrel in vise and hammer it downwards

Shoot longer ranges. I shoot mine to 300+ yards with a scope.

I don't shoot rabbits at 300 yards.

The front sight is sitting in a dovetail, so it should be able to be replaced. The question is, with what?

Just take less of the front bead when you aim.

I have had great luck with WilliamsGunSight.com in the US. Just give them a call, tell them the make, model and sometimes the distance between front and rear sight and they will suggest the appropriate replacement sight. I've called them a few times now and they always get it right. The price is right and they have no problem shipping to Canada.
