Re: Rear Iron Sight with Good Elevation Adjustment? Dovetail typ

Well just measured the front sight I have and the darn thing is already .5" high. That's one of the largest sizes that I have found...grrrr can't find any much bigger than that. Maybe I will have to start looking back at changing out the rear sight again and/or just changing out both sights and...

Rear Iron Sight with Good Elevation Adjustment? Dovetail typ

Hey all, I'm looking for another rear iron sight for my Rossi 92. I need one with better elevation control other than those metal "stairstep" kind that slide under the buckhorn type sights. In short I have a bead front sight that can't be adjusted for elevation and a bullseye ghost ring fr...

Re: New Rossi 92 .357...Zeroing Question

Well got a chance to get out to the range today and I defiantely need to print out some larger targets! :lol: Ended up trying to zero in at 50 yards and found I was shooting too high even using a rest. Problem is, my front sight cannot be adjusted for elevation and my rear sight (bullseye ghost ring...

Re: New Rossi 92 .357...Zeroing Question

Thanks for the replies this is extremely helpful. Thats a great program Griff which ids it? Is it the one AJMD429 mentioned (RCBS.load v. 3.0). OK so it seems that the point-blank range should be at 100 yards...now question is, how do I dial that it on iron sights that far out ? I've done it with sc...

New Rossi 92 .357...Zeroing Question

I read that the trajectory of the bullets should be pretty flat out to 100 yards and should have enough velocity to hunt deer at that distance. Qu...
