Keltec Sub2000 Zeroing Problems

[sully]

I recently acquired a Keltec Sub2000 (9mm). After giving it a proper bath and lube I took it to the range. I did a barrel/action break in as I would on any new firearm. At 25yds I was able to obtain 1-1/2" groups with about any ammunition I fed it. It is not a high quality gun, but for the cost it appears to be well put together and reasonably affordable.

It shoots about 1' right and 2' low, and this is as close as I can get it zeroed. I have already dropped the front site as low as it can go and this is as close as I could get it. I had 8 other shooters try it with the same results. I am going to give it another run tomorrow off of the sandbags, and if it is still that bad I will probably have to send it back. Does anyone else have a similar experience???

I bought mine (in .40 S&W) slightly used. It was right on at 25 yards the first time I fired it, so I've never felt a need to play with the front sight adjustment. Very strange that yours shoots so far off.

You have a huge side-to-side adjustment you can make. How far over is your sight that it can't go any further? As for the up/down, it can shoot a little low at that range and you should be right on at 50 or 100 yards. Remember, the bullet is still on its way up at that point. At any rate, my Sub2k front sight is well over to the left of the globe. It's somewhat annoying, but I can still live with it. I might cut the top off of the hood off.

I took this one out again yesterday, and it was still that far off. I did purchase another one (in OD) at the same time I got the grey one. I took this one out as well and the OD one was right on the money. So I will take the one that won't zero back to my gunsmith. I am thinking that the front site base might be put slighlty canted.
