I have come into possession of a 30-30 Trapper. It's got full buckhorn rear sight and a blade (no bead) front.
This is a cool rifle, but it does not fit me. Stock is too short and very thin. I'm not getting rid of it, so don't ask .
Anyway, because of the way it fits, the "natural" hold gives me a sight picture with the front sight just a tad off center to the right in the rear sight. Not quite as much as shown, but using the key pad draw with I get this exaggerated pitiful artwork as shown.

My question: This rifle is shooting 2" left at 25 yards. Would this hold cause that? I would have thought it would shoot right if I held with that sight picture. But what do I know.
Any insights appreciated.
