All,  thanks again for the info, no matter who you directed it to, I'm taking it all in.

In a perfect world, I'd set my sight to zero windage, shoot a well-aimed round through the xring at 1-200 yards in no wind, and that would be where I left the windage.

But that ain't gonna happen.  I will adjust the rear sight windage to get that shot, draw or photograph the sight, and leave it there unless there a major ammo chnage or something nessesitates doing it again.

If this were an M1, I'd make a small shift in the front sight to make mechanical zero and no wind zero of the rear sight, same same.

I've wanted a KRAG for a loooong time.  I bought a "junker" from CMP that was complete and I'm going to bring her to life.
