If you think .375 is the correct height cut your front sight down to that height it will save you some money just for trying.....

Sorry, point of impact has NOTHING to do with MOA.

I stand corrected, and admit, yes, I'm wrong.  You can make sight adjustments in MOA.  The 12" lower point of impact is roughly 12 MOA high, so calculate the 12MOA over the 21.25" sight radius for a .074" taller front sight - Buy a .375" tall sight.

STUMPJMPR, his sight is already too short. The .375 ON TOP OF THE 3/8" shorty ramp will give him a total front sight hieght of .750...

Just do what I do.  Order one that you know is to tall, very carefully file and check POI, screw it up and get it to short, measure that height and order the next size taller.  It's easy. ;D  DP.
