[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 487372, member: 3745"] The process from nwolf is the best and most accurate way to measure sight height. you can also use a set of calipers or sometimes I will use a 6" steel scale and "eyeball" the center of scope tube to the center of the barrel. I can usually get to within 0.1" or less that way, and I don't have to remove the stock. However, the method from nwolf is the most accurate. Also, as I assume you know since you asked the question, it is very important to get this right if you are using a ballistic program. If you are off a couple of "tenths" or so it will have quite an effect on the ability of your program to give you accurate down range dial up info. [/QUOTE]
