In Fallout: New Vegas, where do I need to place my ironsights to score a hit?
Pretty sure I've tried all vertical positions, from having my target a few millimeters above the tip / center of the sight, to a few millimeters below the sight, and everywhere in between... yet, it seems as if I can never hit a target past what I would consider medium range.
It's really, really annoying, because I KNOW my sights are on the target, and yet I never, ever, EVER hit.
Is there an absolute maximum range on weapons? Or is there still bullet spread when in ironsights? Like, if I'm using a rifle, is it possible for the shot to fly a few degrees left or right even if I am pointing directly at my enemy? If so, does raising my Guns skill / condition of weapon maybe fix this? Where should I be pointing the center of my sight if I want to, say, score a headshot? I primarily use rifles, and I never had any real issues scoring headshot after headshot in Fallout 3 with a simple hunting rifle... but for some reason, I can't seem to get the positioning right in New Vegas... or something.
Please help, I've always favored beating my enemies at long-range and am usually rather good at it (I panic in close combat and miss a lot), and this is putting a real chip on my shoulder.

There is still bullet spread when using iron sights, albeit lower than hip-shooting. The spread is increased if you do not meet the Strength and relevant skill requirements.
Many rifles in New Vegas have the iron sights slightly misaligned, which coupled with rifles' high accuracy makes the iron sights unreliable. You can see exactly where the shot will go if you go into third-person while aiming and then switch back to first-person, or you can disable true iron-sights in the Options in order to more accurately aim in first-person.

Fallout 3 for 3 reasons. 1. Fallout 3 is an historic game, the perfect combination of shooter and RPG. Fallout 3 is the original, New Vegas is just a shorter version with very few updates. 2. For the same price now I think you can get Fallout 3 Game of the Year, with all the dlc, especially broken steel, which lengthens the game and makes it that much more fun. 3. Without any spoilers, let's just say there are some explosions to be had in Fallout 3, to say the least.
