First three rounds with my .54 Colonial Virginia!  From the bench of course.  50 yards.

Not much filing to do, or were you aiming 6 o'clock?  It this is only a hunting rifle & aimed at 6 - perfect or close enough. should be about zeroed at 100
with a descent powder charge.
If it's a competition trail rifle, bit of filing to do. Appears accurate enough.

Its a hunting gun, and yes it needs a tad bit of adjustment.

Photos of the rifle. If it is a Kibler you will be happy.

@!*% weather took a dive, heavy snow and rain for a week, can't get out to shoot.  Bit in Nevada it should be sunny and dry by next week.   It is a Kibler and I use 70 grains of 2f with .530 RB with .018 pillow ticking I got from wally world.

  Phil the more comfortable you get with your gun. You should then start getting one hole groups.  Good shooting.
