Re: Shimming/raising iron sights?
Thanks. The Arms Room quoted me $100 and up for rasping down (and refinishing) the stock 'till he could line up on the stock sights. I passed the info along, not sure if he'll wind up pursuing it.

Shimming/raising iron sights?
A friend of mine has an old Remington Woodsman 742 .308 with the stock iron sights. He tells me that he can't get his face/right eye low enough to line up the front & rear sights. I've observed him shooting, and it looks to me like he *does* have a good shooting position and cheek weld. He's Korean, so has these huge cheek bones.
So, I'm wondering - is there a way to raise the existing sights with some spacers? Or should I look for replacement sights? Don't think he's in the market to spend the $ on a scope.
