Adjusting the rear sight on a .22 cal. Marlin Papoose

[Dominic Barry]

Anyone own a papoose? It supposedly comes from the factory sighted in. I tried it last day of rabbit season in Feb. of this year and it was shooting 5 in. to the right. The manual says to just tap the dovetail? rear sight in the direction you want to move your aim. It doesn't say what to tap it with (i.e. wood block or hammer?). I love the gun otherwise. It's a semi and only weighs 3 pounds. The stainless barrel detaches and fits into a nice little carry bag. Perfect for the country. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi Dominic, Not really famalier with this particular model, but as a rule of thumb,  if it's shooting to the right, move rear sight to the left in small incriments. I use a small copper, brass or aluminum rod, tapping gently on the dovetaill sight.

If adjusting front sight & its shooting to the right, move front sight to the right.

 Hope this helps you Dominic.
