No- I do not have one- well- I think I don't!
Anyone else look down your sights thinking the front sight may be a "hair" canted, then look again and swear "no- it is straight" (or visa versa). At times it drives me NUTS. And then I take a rifle I've always known the front sight was absolutely straight up, and the more I stare down the barrel I start to see (or think) maybe it is a little off. Aughhhhhhh! Yea- I know it's how you hold the rifle in general and that it has to be at a perfect zero degrees as well. |

I spent a bunch of time aligning the FSB on a build and it looked prefectly straight. Then after drilling and pinning I found that the tower was canted by a degree or two but the hood ears were perfectly straight, making everything look like it was lined up.
If I had pinned the tower perfectly straight, the sight ears would have been crooked, but the post would have been perfectly centered. Oh well. Rifle shoots fine. |

Quoted:
You're saying that your eyes are canted, then?  Rifle shoots fine. If it is off, it so little that it does not affect anything. Most will say "what's the problem- don't worry about it", but I am anal in things I do, and if off I HAVE to get it TDC. I have to have my rear and front sight posts perfectly centered- it's a me issue, guess I am a perfectionist (that leaves me generally frustrated at things I do) :O) . I do feel that the rifles I purchased before 1990 had better quality control and never even had to think about things like "are the sights straight??". They had better quality back then. |
