Yesterday’s wind was much more calm than Friday, so I setup a 9 spot target at 20 meters and started shooting 5 shot groups with my Dragonfly Mk2. By the second group, I wondered if a peep I had laying around could help. I didn’t really want to remove the factory rear sight, just in case the peep didn’t work out. I mounted a UTG Micro Peep with a 11mm to Pic adapter under neath and it worked out perfectly. I got that peep a long time ago for another rifle that couldn’t line up enough for elevation, but this worked out really good. I’m going to leave it set like this, I can barely make out the corners of the factory rear sight in the peep, a co-witness, if you will. After I got it sighted in and better groups, I felt satisfied and shot a 12 shot group at 30 meters with my C2023. I wasn’t sure where the pellets would land, so just centered the front sight on the 8” Rona plate. I think it would’ve been a tighter group if I aimed at a smaller specific dot. All in all, it was a good round of shooting.

It seems to confirm my impression that the Dragonfly Mk2 is quite accurate.Do you think that using a scope would allow you to shoot even tighter groups?-W

I’m just trying to not scope everything I have anymore. I think it’s good for me to shoot open sights on some of my rifles. But, if I scoped this one, the stock I believe is perfectly fit for comfortable scoping.
