| Anyone ever try to line up their iron sights by using a micrometer and a geometry? |
|
Using a little A squared + B squared = C squared action?
Using the 25-yd the long leg of the triangle, using the distance from the centerline of the barrel to the height of the rear sight post as the short leg, and then calculate the required height for the front sight. Would be as about as good as using a laser in the chamber. I thing the most difficult thing would be to accurately get the measurements. |

In theory I guess this might work for your elevation setting, if of course you were able to obtain accurate measurements, but it would do nothing foe your windage adjustments. Very impractical IMO. |

As well as completely discounting the effects of gravity. |
