I adjusted the rear sight until I was hitting in the vicinity of my point of aim. The rear sight is almost all the way to the right, not pleased again!
I will be calling customer service tomorrow(Monday)
I am very disappointed to say the least!
Smith and Wesson seems to be having a lot of trouble clocking their barrels and properly machining their forcing cones lately. lately. I recently bought one of their .22's that has BOTH problems.
