The rear sight on my new Henry is canted

[U.S. Patriot]

I took my newly purchased Henry to the range yesterday. I set up two 8" targets side by side. One for my Henry and the other for my Mosin. I was aiming at the target to the right, and the rounds where impacting the target on the left. I thought it was maybe me, plus the wind was gusting from right to left. Still I though it was odd, that I was off that much. Toward the very end of my session, I noticed that the rear sight is canted to the left. I'm going to take it off and and lay it on a flat service. Then tap on it with a rubber mallet, and see if I can not get it straightened out. I do not remember it being that way when I bought it. I know I held it 3-4 times prior to buying it. I know I have not banged it against anything or dropped it. If I can not fix it, I'll contact Henry.

I think your Henry was purchased from Davidson's so it will have a lifetime warranty through them. Henry should make it right anyway since it's a new gun.
