I found I had an old Lyman steel aperture sight laying around and it is now on my second 45-70. I hate the sights that all manufacturers of lever guns seem to have installed. I've thrown many buckhorn sights in the trash where they deserve to be - total worthless sights IMO.
I'm also not a fan. I find that with a peep, I can keep focus on the front sight and the target but with the Buckhorn sights, my eye bounces focus from target to front sight to rear sight.
Joe, yes. That was the first time I'd had an issue with the sight being loose but after that it constantly moved with little force.
