Calculating Rear & Front Sight Height Combination
1. Measure the diameter of the barrel at the point of the rear sight upright and at the point of front sight bead (example: 1.00” rear sight and .750” front sight).
2. Divide the diameters by 2 (example: 1.00” /2=.500”). This is the distance from the center line of the barrel to the top of the barrel.
3. Check the rear sight height adjustment chart for the middle adjustment height (example: Large Low #20 sight adjusts from .420” to .520”). So .470” is the mid point.
4. Add the mid point adjustment to the center line distance (example: .470”+.500”=.970”).
5. Subtract the front sight center line figure from the rear sight height (example: .970”-.375”=.595”).
6. You need a combination of front ramp and front sight with the height of .595”. Ramps are measured from the base to the bottom of the dovetails. Front sights are measured from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the bead.

Front Sight Elevation Correction Chart
 
How to Use Table Above-Suppose a rifle, having a sighting radius of 24” between front sight and receiver sight, shoots 6” high at 100 yards, even with the rear sight adjusted as low as possible. Remove front sight and measure overall height, preferable with a micrometer. This might be .410”, such as a Marble No. 41MR. Reference to columns for 24” and 6” on table above will show a necessary correction of .040”. This would mean a new, higher front sight (with an overall height of .410” plus .040” for a correction height of .450”) such as a Marble No. 45MR, should be installed.
 
Sighting in should be done with a bench rest or prone with a sand bag or other rest for the rifle. Do not put rifle barrel or forearm directly on solid surface, but put the back of your hand or wrist on the rest and hold forearm of the rifle securely in your hand with approximately the same tightness of grip you would use when shooting at running game. If the firearm or barrel is rested directly on the sand bag or rest, the rifle will shoot higher than when held firmly while shooting at game as more “muzzle flip” will occur.
