Thanks for the replies. From everything I have looked at, the consensus to fix my problem is either raising the front or lowering the rear. Lowering the rear seems like the easier of the two, however, I am hesitant to start removing metal. Other potential solutions I have thought of other than the scope are changing the rear sight entirely to a flip down style from numrich, and trying that. I want to eventually install a Marble peep on the tang, but I would like for the rifle to be at least usable with the stock irons if possible. Any suggestions are welcome and I appreciate the replies.
