gunner, oh BTW,
You're gonna get beat up so much about the .270 FWT. You probably don't want that and should sell it to me.
I'll keep it private you ever owned one. They really do suck, ya know. Everybody knows.

Does the receiver sight setup use the original front sight on the rifle? Ben, It may or may not. Went the Lyman route on a pre 64 70 and had to go with a different front. With the Lyman at its lowest the rifle still shot 6 inches low at 100. Needed s lower front than the original.

? 6" low at 100. Did you mean 6" high? If it were that low with the rear sight all the way down, one would only need to raise it up, no?

Correct. I got it backwards.
I was 6 inches high and had lowered the rear down as far as it would go.
Rear goes in the direction you want the bullet to go. Front goes the opposite.
Ordered a "higher" front sight and it was still three inches high.
This was from the bench. Funny thing was when I shot it sitting, resting on a post or off a rolled up sleeping bag it was pretty much dead on.

I'm used to walking around with my hat in my hand and head hung low, barely even able to look up, the 270 fits me to a tee, I'm used to it.

Incidentally, the stock is on it's way for proper [Winchester] finishing, should be back in about a month or two.

Interesting Battue, I raised the rear sight on my rifle while looking through the peep at the front bead, the notch on the now raised rear sight fell right under to cradle the bead perfectly, kinda fooks with your eye focusing/refocusing on that much potential alignment , but all looked good, I'll surely see at the bench in a couple months.
