Im sure this has probably been asked before..

I just bought a CASV-M rail for my rifle, it appearantly raises your normal top-rail hight approx .475" using the piggy back method. Being in the Marine Corps currently, they have us shoot a 3 shot group at 36 yards with iron sights to find your BZO and that will be about the same at 300 yards. MY QUESTION IS, will my rifle have to be sighted in at say...50 yards to be on at 300 now that my rail is higher??? Thank you for any explanation on whats going to happen with trajectory.

It shouldn't effect anything unless you are putting a carry handle on top of the rail. The CASV has a spot to put a BUIS and not raise it. What irons are you using??

Just ordered my Troy Industries front and rear buis...looks like i should have done a little more research before I bought. I cant use the front sight assembly with the rear troy sight because Noveske Rifleworks gives you is a low profile gas block with their 16" recon barrel sets.

There are so many variations you can have the CASV set up. Being that you are not using a FSB, I couldn't tell you, but I think you guess was about right. A day at the range could answer your question.

I am at Camp Pendleton, 1st Marine Division, weapons company, but I think that they are moving me to a different line company, hopefully rifle.

Sound like a nice build similar to mine but I have a bravo company upper.
