Turns out that it is an ex-PEM model.
I took it to the county range over the weekend. Bad mistake, the 100 yard benches were full up. 200 yard spots were open, so I took one. Second mistake: All I had for spotting was a pair of 10x binoculars and they were not up to the task of spotting .3" holes in paper at 200 yards.
The good news is that a nice gent let me look into his spotting scope and the rifle shot about a 4" group, which is pretty sweet for open sights at that distance. The bad news is that it shot way high and way to the right, about 1/2 of the way between the outer edge of the black bull and the top right corner of the target.
Re-snipering it is not in the cards these days. Reproductions of the scope itself are over $300. Reproduction mounts, when I have seen them offered, are also over $300. And then it all has to be put together by someone who knows what they are doing, and by then the cost is over an AMU ("aircraft maintenance unit", aka a grand).
That's not going to happen anytime soon. Pushing the sight over and installing a higher post, that's doable.
