Practical Bush Rifle - Zeroing the Skinner Scout Rail

Picking up at the range I get the Skinner Scout rail iron sights zeroed in and confirm them at distance.

Do you feel hindered by the short sight line between the rear and front sight on the rail?
Good shooting, really enjoy your videos.

The shorter sight radius is a compromise compared to full length sights, but I was still able to shoot to the potential of my eyes and the rifle. It’s about 12.5 inches so it’s not terrible for the type of shooting the rifle is meant for. On my next rifle I’d like to have Skinner just do a normal scope base with the rear peep sight and a dove tailed front blade on the barrel, and mount an LPVO.

@@BadlandsRifleman Interesting.
I have a ruger gsr with a xsight picatinny base that has a peep sight that aligns with the factory front sight. It adds some weight but I'm happy with it since it gives me the ability to mount a scout or regular scope as well as the back up irons. Tho I mostly use it with a normal mpvo and use the rail in front of the scope to mount a thermal imager for hog hunting.
Could be worth checking out if you ever want to try something else.
Keep up the good stuff 👍
