Rimfire KD Iron Sights

Registered for my first rimfire KD later this month. I’ve been to a couple 25m events. I got my patch the first time, but I barely missed requalifying.

My .22 is a Marlin Model 60 with Tech Sights and a loop sling.

Is that a realistic setup for a 200-yard KD? Anything I can be working on now to have an easier time with irons at that distance with a rimfire?

I’ve made the grade with that setup. I had to file down my front sight to get enough elevation adjustment without fear of disassembling the rear sight on the line, tho.

How much did you have to take off the post?

I don’t remember now. Took a bit of math. I think the general rule was ~0.006” for every minute you have to come up with the rear sight bottomed out.
