Hey Fellas. I just got back from the range (+30, blazing sun, no wind)!:D:D:D

I have a Bushmaster that I am slowly becoming acquainted with. I bought it with the intent of pimping it out like all the cool kids are doing...but the more I shoot, the more I like it just the way it is.

I dialled the gun in as per the standard procedure in the manual and the gun is fine - for combat purposes, I guess. Slung up from the prone I can easily put all my shots into a target the size of a man' chest out to 200 yards (haven't shot any further out yet...). Not bad for a hare-lip old fart!;)

The only gripe I have is that the gun is shooting a tad high with a six o'clock hold - and I would like to be able to dial the sights in so that I don't have to compensate.

I seem to recall a discussion amongst the local AR15 geeks where they referred to some time of set screw or fine adjustment besides the ones on the front and rear sight. Does this ring a bell with any of you?

Your two cents is appreciated.

Carrying handle receiver? L-shaped flip back sight or dial adjustable? Square or round front sight pin?

These rifles are often ammo sensitive, even though they are battle-specification. It may just need a different bullet weight to perform.
 
Go to arfcom and search the improved battle sight zero. They have detailed directions on there. By releasing the set screw in your rear sight and dialing down a number of notches depending on whether you you have a 3/6 or 3/8 marked sight- you can zero at 50yds and create 200 meter setting on your dial. (using small aperture)
