My 15-2 4" Is shooting aprox 8" high@ 15-25 yds with rear sight as low as it can go.

Any one else experience this??

Maybe play with your barrel nut to change the tension.

I can move POI about 5" @ 25 yds by re-torquing mine. Try about 1/8 turn for starters & "walk it in". DO NOT re-torque while loaded, of course.

I load 3, fire a 3 round group, empty, & then adjust.

Repeat as needed!

If that doesn't help you can file the the gap of the rear sight down a smidgen. I have never done it but it would work.

What type of rear sight do you have? Original or replacement - like Ruger.

To be fair I have those fibre-optic front sights on both my barrels.

4" V-H & 6" V-H

With the 6" I have 32 clicks of elevation for a center hold @ 25 yds with a 125 Gr .357 HP at 1350 FPS instrumental.

The 4" is bottomed with .38Spl 158Gr SWC doing 950 Fps @ the same distance
