I saw this link for a buckhorn/ladder sight posted on the old Buff Classic forum.

Pricey, but easy to mount in existing screw holes. Has anyone tried one of these?

E.D.

This looks like a new item to me. I'll be suprised if anyone has. Did I miss it somewhere or is there no windage adjustment?

Maybe what looks like a dovetail in the rear? Kinda cumbersome for windage to me. I like the idea of barrel maounting though.

If it keeps the working range from 50yds and up it looks like something to check out.

Price wise is a little high, but, if it is quality material and fit it should be worth it. IF is has windage adjustment.

Handirifle look toward the front of the sight there is a dovetail slot for windage adjustment.

I must be blind cause I still can't see it.

I looked at the other link and it shows the same sight slightly elevated and can't see it there either.

Oh, well, that's why I got rid of mine anyway, couldn't see the sights and couldn't stand the thought of a scope on that smooth looking rifle.

Handirifle on the left side of the sight base at top there is a glare all the way up. Toward the front of the sight there is a 3/8 of a inch that there is no glare that is were the dovetail is. I have better than 20/20 vision and I'm 33 and hopefully I'm lucky enough for that to stay that way.

OK, I saw the dovetail and mentioned that in my first post, I thought you saw something else. At least I'm not blind yet :grin:

The dovetail is OK in my book for windage but I'd prefer something easier to adjust. That said, it's still not too hard to correct a little with "Kentucky Windage"

Sorry handirifle I totaled missed the part about you seeing the dovetail in your fisrt post. Maybe I got selective seeing. You know its kinda like selective hearing or maybe just need to read post a little slower.

That is one of the better sights I like.

It has potential, with none of the tang in the stock issues.
