I love the old school lever action rifles such as Winchester and Marlin. I don't want to add optics to these types of guns.
That being said I have a couple rifles that don't shoot exactly where I aim but I get tight groupings. Elevation is easy to adjust with my buckhorn rear sights. (Maybe too easy since I mess up the elevation when I carry the rifle) Windage is what I'm really concerned about. What is a good sight pusher for the front sight of a rifle?
Wyoming Sight Drifter - keep one in my range bag and muzzleloader box and at the work bench. Had them since I read an article Mike Venturino wrote in Rifle magazine - thanks Mike!!
With a brass punch it's like - tap tap tap ... doesn't move. Tap tap tap ... moves too far. With this method I can get it close. For fine adjustment I'm going to try the Williams sight pusher. I think that should work good.
I use the Wyoming sight drifter. The Williams doesn't work well unless the dovetail is in a ramp, not directly in the barrel.
Good point. My Marlin sight is in a ramp but my Winchester 1873 is directly in the octagon barrel so it may not work for that rifle. The thing I like about the sight adjusters with the screw crank is they seem to be easy to adjust even when I want to go just a few thousandths. Both of those guns are so close I worry that a punch or even the Wyoming sight drifter might go too far.
