Is it normal to have to crank the rear sight all the way to the left to get it sighted in? Of the five marks it is now set on the first one on the left to have it shoot accurate.

Question

Hi Allen, It doesn't sound normal to me. It should be centered. Has the firearm been been broken in? Sometimes thats the issue putting a few hundred rounds through it.

I just read most people change to Dawson Precision fiber optic front sights - Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4A6MeM8D2k

first try it from a rest then if you have a friend that shoots have him try it if both of these show the same results then I would contact browning 800-333-3288 it could be your grip is causing you to push or pull the shots

James G. · Answer

This is not normal Allen. If you have access to a barrel sight-in bore laser, it will let you know immediately the sight alignment to the center bore of the barrel. Make sure to use a bubble level on the rail and rear sight to assure the pistol and rear sight are completely vertical. Once you turn on the laser either the rear, front or both sights could be off center in relation to the bore. Preliminarily to me it sound like a sight issue.
