[QUOTE="dodgefreak8, post: 1986291, member: 4965"] So I've updated a couple things on the rifle and downloaded the video of my back to back 300 yard hits with open sights. There were 2 things I felt needed upgraded on this rifle mainly so one could run optics without a bunch of hassle. The first is the rear sight. The Williams western precision peep sight comes with 2 different sight bases. One tall and one short. The short allows a 100.yard zero and the tall allows for a 200-300 yard zero with a150gr load. Since I'm shooting 170grs the rear sight has to be all the way down and I'm dead on at 300 yards. This sight is far from "precise". The elevation and windage are both held in place with tiny set screws and moved with your fingers. This makes small adjustments impossibly frustrating. It also gives that sight 2 or 3 places for failure and possible loss of the peep (which has happened to one colorado owner I know of already.) The other thing was the sight had to be completely disassembled and removed to attach a scope base. So I purchased a set of burris bases and the NECG picatinny peep sight. I first tried a standard 20moa base but it's too high and would require a taller front sight. The NECG sight has precise elevation and windage adjustment that both lock in place. This allows you to remove the sight with the thumb wheel to go to optics and replace the sight after with no need to rezero.
