Replace Patridge site on 625-2?

[Kaumheimer]

Need an opinion please.

I swapped out my stock front site (a Baughman ramp) on a 5" M625-2. for a .243 Patridge sight). I got it sighted in properly but only after the adjustment screw on the rear sight blade was completely screwed down. It works but there's no more play in the adjustment.

I found out later that the standard front sight for the 625 is .270. That would make sense. I wouldn't have had to screw the rear site blade to its limit.

That said, it seems to be very accurate with the loads I use.

Should I swap out the .243 for the .270 or just call it a day?

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I run a taller, .300, front sight to allow using a .160 rear blade for a deeper rear notch. I think stock is a .278 front with a .146 rear.

Thanks for the advice. It's not something that I'll lose sleep over but this is good to know.
