After you get that zeroed in - go shoot some groups at 300 yards with your Remington semi-auto and open sight combo. You might just change your mind about 300 yard shooting with that rig. Besides, that isn't what it is for right? It's for those fast breaking shots up close. BTW, a large aperture receiver sight (peep) is much faster and considerably more accurate than those issue open sights. Something like a Williams Guide receiver sight would work well if you screw out the aperture and throw it away, shoot through the opening left and you'll now have a "ghost ring" sight. Ghost rings are lightning quick and twice as accurate for folks who know how to use them. My favorite timber rigs are a Remington M7600 pump .30-06 and a Marlin M1895 .45-70, both wear receiver sights with large apertures and have a flat faced gold bead up front. They’re poison on game in the timber! I use a Marlin M39A .22LR with a Williams Fool Proof receiver sight for small game and practice for the big bores. It is a good system.
