Well can't find the threat were I was talking about the sight changes. But I did get them to work I had to take out the inter part of the sight and just file the sight housing down until it got to where I wanted the bullet to hit. All good now just have to dress them up a bit and blue them and we are good to go. yep it was a bit of work and I learned alot while doing it too.

Well that's good to hear.

At what distance did you regulate the sights for?

Snuffy

The rifle targets in cas are supper close so I am guessing no futhere than 20 to 25 yards. Long shots haven't been very far and most times they are a bonis shot if ya miss it doesn't count against you ya just don't get the bonis is all.

I shoot with the tang sight . I made this one . There is nothing to line up , you just look threw the hole and put ft sight on target and pull the trigger . It is so much fast then standard sight . If you look the hole are very large , most people shoot with too small of a hole .. Plus I doubled the size of the ft sight also and tang sights are great for old failing eyes . 25 yds to 100 yds NO sight adjustment needed on my 44-40 or 32-20 with SASS/CAS loads .




I REMOVE APERTURE FOR SASS/CAS OR HUNTING

I INSTALL APERTURE FOR LONG RANGE AND TARGET WORK

I HAVE DIFFERENT SIZE HOLES IN APERTURE FOR TARGET WORK

I don't make my own sights people like you can, and that is great.

Lyman make one if you have a drift over ft sight and Marble makes one with windage adjustment built in if your ft sight is fixed . They run $60 and $90 . If you need more speed and accuracy this works for me

My eyes are just not liking iron rifle sights. I was thinking of a red dot for my 1894 Marlin but this might be a better answer.

I think SASS and CAS would have a fit if you show up to one of there matches with a red dot . If peeps are setup correctly it will shoot along side a 10x scope . Jack Farmer over 80 in San Diego , CA is blind and has won alot of matches at 200 yds against scopes . Click the paste he's the 1st one

[bThat rifle is a marlin, I have 66's.
Machinest have you thought of the fiber optic's that might do the trick. Some folks like red but I like green myself better easier to pick up at nite if ya need too. ][/b]

Thank you, Snuffy. It's the rear site that tends to give me trouble. I'm far sighted and use trifocals. An aperture sight mounted close to the eye like Gunrunner uses might work well. I could look through it better than I can a normal rear peep site and then focus on the front sight and see the target. I was thinking one of the open type red dots as better than a scope but I like the tang site better if it will work for me. It's worth checking out for my lever guns. I have a Browning BL-22 in .22 LR and a Marlin in .44 Mag. I would like to get a Marlin in .357 Mag with an 18.5" barrel. I think I would prefer that to the Mini 14 Ruger or one of the other semi-autos I have for that role. I can live with a scope on the .22 but the centerfire lever gun would handle faster and better without one. The .357 Marlin is the last rifle I am looking to get and I have a number I will look to sell or trade so I should have money left over.

I had to go to trifocals as the digital readouts on machine tools were between the ranges of the bifocals. I may try to go back to bifocals as they are much easier to live with. It would make shooting easier.

Snuffy

Your not alone pard I wear them too.

Snuffy

Found something today think it will work Marbles bulleye sight. Check it see what you think.

Snuffy

Got my front sight back today its already on, I have two days off before I go to a match if it works I'll be taking the 66 in 38 sp to the match.

Bountyhunter

Let us know how it works out for ya, buddy.

Snuffy

I sure will it will be double report as its going to be the first road trip for the new to me truck. I can hardly wait for Saturday to get here. The only bad thing is I have to go back to work Sunday. I can remember when I was going through my divorces I actually looked forward to go to work. Boy talk about hitting bottom lol.
