I posted this to rimfirecentral as well to see if they had any thoughts.

I received a new-to-me RAR this afternoon from my FFL. When I got it home and examined it more closely, I saw that the rear sight is off center. The platform that the adjustable part of the sight is not centered on the middle of the barrel. It's more to the right. I'm attaching an image to this post that hopefully shows it.

Is this normal for this rifle? Let me know if more pictures would be helpful.

Overall, I'm not too impressed. It looks very nice with the wood stock, but magazine does not release or go in easily. This thing with the sights - if it is in fact an unintended error - is pretty disappointing as well. Hopefully I'm just mistaken and still need to get used to this rifle.
