In the hope that somebody has some ideas on how to correct this problem, here is my problem.
I have a .177 pellet gun (not BB) that is a single sidecock, not a break barrel. The rear sight is only adjustable for elevation and I'm OK there. The problem is that the rifle is hitting the target about 2-3" to the right of the point of aim at 50 ft. The front sight is hooded & adjustable, the post screws up & down, and there is a horizontal pin about 3/16" dia. under the sight. That pin has about the same amount showing on both sides of the sight and I have been reluctant to try and drift the pin, but it might be necessary.
What I DON'T know is which direction to tap this pin and, do I lay the gun on its side, clamp the barrel in a padded vice, etc.
ALL SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED!
