Default Finally Got To Shoot My 15-22

After having to wait for over a month, I finally got my key to the range.
Took the 15-22 and the Wife (first time shooter) to the range this morning.
What can I say, WOW! What a fun rifle to shoot!
We ran about 400 rnds. of Federal Bulk through it and the gun ran flawlessly! I'm very impressed! An "AR Style" rifle that is affordable to shoot! Life is Good!
Wife loved it! She turned out to be a natural
The only problem we had was with adjusting the iron sights. I replaced the rear sight with a A2 Carry Handle, and at 25 yrds the rifle was shooting about 4 to 5 inches low, I maxed out the rear elevation and was still shooting about 1/2 to 3/4 inch low. When I mounted the A2 Carry Handle on the rifle, I compared it to the factory rear sight and the apertures seemed to line up perfectly. I know I should be adjusting the front post, but I did not have the adjustment tool for it, and I left my original rear sight at home, so I could not compare the two at the range. My question is, why is it shooting so low?
