Greetings all!
I recently bought a Rossi R92 in .357 Magnum.... I wanted to have both a red dot and iron sights on it, so I bought this product from Rossi "Rossi R92 Picatinny Rail w/ Peep Sight" (https://shoprossi.com/rossi-r92-picatinny-rail-w-peep-sight-screws). I removed the original rear buckhorn sights and easily mounted the pic rail with peep sight in their place.
When I took it to the range to sight it in, it shoots so high that I have maxxed out the vertical adjustment on the aftermarket peep sights. It is hitting about 8 inches high at 50 yards, which is where I had hoped to zero it. I have slid the rear peep as low on the sloped back of the pic rail as it will go. I think it's stupid that Rossi sells a product that doesn't align with the factory front sight, but I'm curious if anyone has a recommendation of a taller replacement front sight and knowledge about how I should measure or calculate what height I would need.
For what it's worth, the gun did great with the red dot! I zeroed it at 50 yards and (with one flyer) this is what it looked like at 100 yards, hardly any drop with 170 grain bullets. At 50 yards, 130-grain .38 specials were hitting about 3 inches low.
Thanks in advance,
Josh
