455 Lux tangent sight
« on: October 09, 2015, 03:02:12 PM »
I was minding my own business, not bothering anyone when I stumbled across a 455 Lux with the tangent sight for $350 in a sporting goods store here in town. The store had been open for four weeks and it was on clearance.  Here, take my money.

I've shot it a bit and find, even after fully adjusting the sights, that it shoots an inch or two to the right at 25 yards.  At 50 yards it's a full 4 inches to the right. It's not just me. Other's have the same results.

What else can I do since  there  is no more adjustments left? Seems to me it must not have been mounted straight.

Sounds like something is out of whack somewhere.  I would call CZUSA and tell them about it.  Maybe they will send you a new barrel.

I've never seen a Lux with tangent sights. My 455 Lux came stock with sight ramps as did most on my sons shooting teams. The 455 Trainer comes with Tangent sights from factory. It may be done after market? Not sure if CZ-USA Can help with that.

Can you get us a pic of the gun and of the sights?

CZ does sell a tangent sight upgrade package for the Lux. We don't know if the OP bought new or used.

Right Painter. I was just commenting on "New Factory Inventory" in response to contacting CZ-USA. Not sure if the would warranty a modified rifle. A Pic would be helpful. CZ uses LPA sights.
