Getting it zeroed in has been interesting.

Out of the box, it was printing consistently ~4" high at 25 and 35 yds. Screwed the rear sight down as far as it would go. Not much difference. Got hold of Patrick at Henry and he allowed as how some SGCs seem to just need the taller front sight and he sent me one pronto.

Back to the range on Saturday and, sure enough, all is good at 25 yds. A bit left, but that may be a matter of me not centering the front sight exactly right. Didn't have the hex key with me at the range, so I couldn't adjust the rear, but will get to that.

Not being able to leave well enough alone, I came home and installed the Lyman Globe on the front, along with a skinny post insert, trying to closely duplicate the set-up of my BBS .357. Back to the range soon (with the hex key) so will report within the next few days...

Pics coming!

Same here. Mine was shooting just as yours is. Patrick sent me two front sights ...I just went for the tallest one first = Bingo!
Patrick is a great person to deal with.
Good Luck & Happy Shootin!
