Yes MD I have sworn off using a 223 if I might see a deer. I think reconfiguring (just a reprofile of the barrel) od the Remmy 700 is the most likely option at this stage!

Divide 25,000 mm by 530 = 47.17 (approx). Divide 150mm x 47.17 = 3.17mm front sight height change.

I agree 100%. It got to be a lot easier to try and keep the land in Crown ownership, than to get it changed back once it's been transferred to private owners.
