I agree that the big, honkin' brass front bead is part of my problem. I may just file off the top bit of the sight that holds the bead and cold-blue it since it's too high anyway. The rear aperture is at just about the upward limit of adjustment anyway and my groups are about 3" low at 50 yards yet. 25 yard groups are about 3/4" low. Any tips for making the inside of the aperture permanently "matte"? The Skinner apertures are blue/black but very shiny inside, I'm thinking a Q-tip and some flat black paint would help.
