Greetings, I have a question in relation to adjusting the iron sights of the R8 PH barrel (Safari/Selous variant) which are different in several way to the standard R8 barrel. In particular there is a significant difference in the iron sights provided. The iron sights on the start barrels are very easy to adjust and my question is NOT about the standard barrel. I it specifically about the iron sights on the Safari/Selous barrel only. The link to the video below will show the difference. ( Note: In the video I incorrectly said 18 inches. I should have said 12 inches)

Has anyone here had to adjust their iron sights ? If so, did you replace front, rear or both inserts ? Does anyone know who manufactures the iron sights for Safari/Selous barrels ?

I am aware that it's easier to just fit a red dot or scope. All of my PH barrels will eventually wear a scope and or a Red Dot. However, they must have the iron sights properly zeroed as well. Belt, braces and elastic options on all my serious rifles.

Thanks in advance for your experiences.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
