I can't seem to get it to move at 100 yards I am hitting low low and right but no matter what I do the rounds still impact the same area. I can screw the front sight down bullets still impact the same area,I move the rear to the right no group movement.

Couple questions?

Home build or factorygun. Metric, inch or Franken? barrellenght?

If metric how many dots on front sight?

Umm if it hits right you ought to move rearsight to left inorder to center the group?

It started life as a centry arms R1A1 inch pattern I traded out the Brit lower with the popsycle stick lower for the S.afracin lower, thought I mite get some of PENQUIN stock sets maybe tan What marks on the front sight.

I think what you're saying is you have inch front and metric rear sights. Uncompatible due to the design height of the sights. Place your inch rear sight on your metric lower and you should be good to go. To move POI left loosen screw on left side of sight and tighten screw on right side.

No matter what sight combo you have your group should move with sight adjustment.

You should be looking through the rear sight at the front sight. The rear sight is ignored and the front is naturally centered within it because the eye seeks out the brighter center of the aperture.

Make sure your cheek wield is consistent. If you using a front rest move to just in front of the magwell. Also ensure that your shooting position is consistent.

Are you getting groups or are your shots just hitting anywhere on the target?

it groups very well just very low and to the right.I screwed the front sight all the way down and it was very low on the Ipsc target I did move the rear sight a little to the left it may have moved the group a tad.It is nothing a scope won't fix but I would like to get the steel sight close I was shooting at 100 yards prown

If you are useing a metric rear sight you could slide it to maybe the 300 or 400 meter mark.
