Ok. I'll do what you said and get back to you. Might be awhile, we're having a cold snap here in Wisconsin it not fun shooting when it's 10 degrees outside. As soon as I can get to the range again I'll send you a pm. Thanks
Yes, you replace the sight with the dovetail with a shorter one. They come in different heights, and there should be one close enough available to get you on zero. The standard advice is to zero the point of impact to be 1-1/2" - 2" high at 100 yards.
