questions about savage 4-C .22 rifle
Hi All!
I recently rescued an older Savage model 4-C .22 from a dank basement. Cleaned up decently and shoots OK. 6 inch groups at 75 yrds with CCI, 8 inch groups with old crappy Remington green box. Only problem is I cant figure out how to adjust the sights and it is shooting almost a foot right.
Front sight comes with choice of 3 blades held in place by a u shaped piece of spring wire. Seems to not be adjustable. Rear sight is just sort of strange, kind of a ramp with two sort of pivot points. One is at the front of the sight and one in the middle. It is made from two strips of steel. Notch is on rear above the ramps. No obvious way to adjust it. I'm sure it came with some sort of specialty tool from Savage.
I feel like an idiot having to ask, but does anyone out there have any info on this? I'd hate like hell to have to hang a scope on such a nice old rifle just because I can't figure out how to adjust the factory iron sights.

The rear sight is adjustable for windage. 0 -
If this is what it looks like? My WAG, is the serrated wheel has to be loosened. So that the rear sight can be moved. Than tightened after the correct windage is obtained.
Interesting sight, never seen one similar? All the other .22's., to adjust windage. You hit the sight(s) with a brass punch. To move them in the dovetails.
