Heck of a note when you have your eye on another; then something like this pops up.
Wish you all the best on your sale.

If it helps the sale, I have an aperture sight that fits. I have bullets.

I thought about taking it out this year for white-tail. If it doesn’t sell, I may next year. I love the way it carries. I shoot it off hand and have not seriously tried to get best accuracy. Off hand I can hit a grape-fruit size target at 50 yards consistently.
Sorry to not be able to answer your question directly.

Sorry to not be able to answer your question directly. I have the exact same situation with mine. When I first got mine I put a scope on it and was shooting for groups off a bench. Honestly, I couldn't hit crap. My groups would go from 2" to 12" at 50 yards. Got frustrated with it, ripped the scope off, stood to the side of the bench and freehand shot 9 out of 10 on a 6 inch steel gong at 50 yards. Made me realize this gun is not designed for bench shooting. From that point on I just take it pig hunting and harvest with almost every pull of the trigger.

I did use this rifle for cowboy silhouette. (Lever rifles). I didn’t ever win with it, but I did pretty well. That was 20 years ago.

I have an older 1894 in32 WS that I shot a pig with probably 16-17 years ago. Man did it hit that pig hard.

I’d throw in a Williams aperture sight for the mentioned price.

The Williams sight is sold pending funds. Make a decent offer.
