Issue: So, I made this rifle for yet another game I'm working on

Issue:
Ironsights are miles away even though I placed them with reference pictures

Anyone knows guns good enough to point me to the right direction?
(Asking mostly americans here)

 

Where's the bolt?

 

-snip-

 

Well, just from the looks of it it's clearly a WIP. So I'd guess that will be added later.

It seems a little odd that the rear sight is so far forward. Or am I retarded and that's the problem/how it's supposed to be?

 

The bolt is not there yet because I'm not sure if I want this to be a game where you basically shoot crap in a shooting gallery (powered by compressed air) like my friends suggested, or something more aimed at shooting things "professionally".

And anyway turns out I actually chose the only reference picture with the sights in that placement.

That's a better one.

 

You've placed the sights too far down the barrel, could be why it looks like it's far away.

 

I figured as much, thanks captain obvious.
But that was how it was supposed to be like from the reference pictures, so that's why I was confused.
It's better now, with the new reference. But it's still a bit small. I'll start checking out more references and asking more people who may know.

EDIT: I've talked to a weapons engineer, was able to keep the same original placement, and this is a more accurate preview of how it should look like in the end:

Don't be a smart-ass, he was just telling you that the sights are infact off.

 

I'm sorry about that, I was quite frustrated about the thing when I read the answer.
Anyway, the gun engineer I talked to told me the placement had always been correct, it was just me who was using a wrong aimpoint.
