Range Report Update
Went out this afternoon to the Outback Range and brought along both my 30 calibers:The 30/30 Henry brass and octagon and the .308 Springfield M1A NM. I started shooting the Henry first and people started gathering around wanting to see the Springfield so I took it out of the case and fired a group of 3. No comparison on acuracy, I sure wish the Henry had those National Match sights on it. I again was shooting at 80 yards but those buckhorn sights on the Henry sure give me fits trying to see and shoot clearly and accurately. One of those peep sights on the Henry would be nice, or maybe its time for me to get a red dot or a scout scope for the Henry. Not to mention a camera to take pictures to submit with my range reports. Anyway, the Henry is really nice and I love to shoot it but I am so much more accurate with those sights on the Springfield, there is just no comparision between the rifles as dressed out.

Good for you Beaker.
When I made a rear sight for my Enfield I purposely made it the opposite to a buckhorn as in the sides of the V were filed lower than the V.

Re: Range Report Update
Sounds like all you need to do is put a Williams FP "peep" sight on that Henry, and you'll have your FAVORITE fun-shootin' gun with the accurate shootability of your favorite powerhouse...
None of my leverguns has "factory" sights:
None of my leverguns has "factory" sights:
- 16" usually get the Marble's "Bullseye" sight that replaces the barrel-mounted rear one,
20" usually get the Williams FP-94/36 (or if Marlins, maybe the FP-336), and
24" usually get a $29 Taurus Tang sight that I find indistinguishable from the Marble's at four times the cost.
