, and let somebody who can actually shoot sight your rifle in.....That ruined my day at the petting zoo when I was 5!
This is common knowledge, but worth repeating.
Rifle sight in:
Sandbag up and shoot one round at 25 yards.
Put the x hairs back on the aiming point and (without moving the rifle) crank the adjustments until the x hair is on the center of the bullet hole.
I make the adjustments while looking through the scope and if the gun wiggles you will see it and will be able to roughly correct for this.
Check your 100 yard zero and repeat.
Fine tune at 200.
When your out at a buddies place leave a nice deposit in the toilet and do not flush!
Then blame your buddy!
Watch his wife.
Works for me.

Mount Sweetness, if I could shoot that well with my iron sights and old eyeballs, I'd need some "depends" . And Why not? gave you good advice, always shoot high with them as you can't see what's below them.

No friends left, eh what?
mine would be, when using the peep sight that must be removed in order to remove the bolt for cleaning, make sure you have locked it in for the sighting in you have done that day.
I once sighted in my rifle, going from a 150gn to a 200gn, raised the rear sight to where it was now supposed to be, put the rifle away, it was a wet day, so when I got home, I took it out and cleaned it good. Next day, I fired at a nice doe, 75yds away and completely missed her!! Saw the bullet hit the snow right under her!! I couldn't figure it out. When I got home, I noticed that the rear sight seemed to be in the same place it was before I had sighted it the day before. I had forgotten to turn down the locking screw!! Back to the range, buck that afternoon.

Doesnt anybody use a bore sight? Works like a hot damn for peeps and should do nice for irons that need it. There is a gizmo that smiths use for extracting front sights that would be much better for minimal adjustment than a hammer and a brass pin. Its a threaded gizmo that would allow very small increments of adjustment.

Do not weld naked! Your sights are fine.
