I guess shimming will be my next step. I'm already happy w/ the load development (no leading, tight groups, reliably works the Mod 8 action)... plus, as I found here, there's no way I'm going to mod the peep site base!

front.JPG I have a flip up rear aperture (as pictured) on my Mod 8. Also, there's a flip up rear buckhorn style sight on the barrel shroud. I've zeroed using Lever-revolutions, to (pretty amazing) success, as I posted here: http://thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4...
