Elevation & windage adjustment for 8mm Hakim?

[Col. Plink]

Finally got my Hakim some good food and need to adjust the sights for where it groups. Any tips on adjusting? It's grouping about 4" low and 6" left @ 100yds. Thanks!

I know there are some Hakim owners out there, and it is a quirky beast. Anyone?

For open sights, the formula for calculating change of impact is:

Movement = sight movement x target distance (yds.) x 36 / distance between sights (in.)

You're typically going to adjust a few thousandths of an inch...

Windage: move the front sight to the left
Elevation: try a heavier bullet (198 grain)

Get out your brass punches and drift the front sight as already mentioned. To rectify elevation, buy a shorter front blade, or file down the existing one.

Knob on top for elevation, knob on side for windage...lol...

So, I have the gas tube valve turned to 6:00 (doesn't seem to go any farther), using Yugo 196-gr surplus; the brass still flings a good ten yards to the 2:00 position, any concern there?

It's empty brass, it's supposed to be ejected quickly and strongly, so that a new cartridge is able to be introduced to the chamber. Perfectly fine.
