Sight alignment involves lining up which parts of the firearm's sights?

Explanation:
Sight alignment means getting the front sight and the rear sight in a proper relationship so they form a straight line along the bore. The front sight should be centered in the rear sight notch, and the tops of the two sights should be level with each other. When this alignment is correct, the barrel is pointed toward the target and you can form a precise sight picture to hit where you intend. Using a scope changes the method to aligning optics rather than iron sights, and the stock isn’t part of the sight alignment. So the essential pairing is the front sight and the rear sight.
