sight height ?

Can anyone tell me how to figure the sight height so I can plug the info into my computer to figure out the MOA thank you
 
what'choo talkin' bout, Willis?

Your lamentable lack of explanation leads the reader to wonder if you have any idea what you're doing?
 
Hello Meatbal6,

A simple way to measure the sight height is to measure the diameter of the barrel just ahead of the scope bell with a set of calibers, divide by 2. Now measure the outside diameter of the scope bell and divide by 2. Now measure the gap between the scope bell and barrel, and add it to the previous numbers. The sum of these 3 distance is the height of the sight line above the bore line. Hope this helps you out.

Or put a cleaning rod into the barrel and measure the distance from the rod to the center of the eyepiece. My quickest way of doing it.
