I would advise against a tang sight if you plan to hunt with the gun. While they do provide a slighly longer sight radius and improved accuracy in theory, they are far more fragile than a receiver mounted sight. They also get in the way of you hand when firing. A good Williams FP or older steel Lyman 56 or 66 would be hard to beat as a hunting sight. As for the front post, a small trough can be etched along the length of the front sight post and white, orange, or glow in the dark paint can be carefully applied and you have a very good front sight.


Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
