hello all. congrats on the new forum. what a surpise to see this new year. i posted once or twice on the old one and always got help!
anyway i have a savage that i got from my dad when he passed. its all original, but has features from different models of the 24. in essence, its a 24 field grade(22lr/.410 24" barrel series P) but the field grade according the diagrams/adverts on the FAQ page didnt have a folding leaf rear sight. this gun does. the problem i am having is even though the rear sight is as high as i can get it, the rounds out of the 22 are still way high. aound 12" above my aiming point at 50 yards. im not expecting the gun to be a tack driver but to completely aim below/off the target to hit the target is quite the pain. any ideas on how to raise the rear sight more? the front blade sight looks totally unadjustable. its on the bracket that holds the 2 barrels together at the muzzle end. thanks for any help

Finally! A question I can answer, and I was too late....but I'll add to the already correct answer:
