Chapuis Brousse 375 Front Sight

@Dan458 Yes, that is a very ugly, not factory furnished front sight.
I venture to guess the rifle shot high for the former caretaker.
To zero the sights to the point of impact (POI), a higher front sight was added.
POI is very much affected by our opposition to recoil.
Perhaps the shooter allowed the rifle to recoil without much opposition?
If so, the POI would be high with the lower front sight.
For you, this sight may likely cause the rifle's POI to be low.
Once you shoot the rifle at your intended range, measure the distance the POI is from your aiming point. New England Custom Gun, can assist you in determining the correct sight height for you. JJ Perodeau could also but I would not bother him for this unless you were sending him the rifle for service/repair/cleaning or to change the sight for you.

There are also online calculators to derive the proper sight height for do it youself persons.
