If that RB has the Pedersoli sight on it, you can get the adjustable "Hadley" disk for it from Cabela's.  It has (I think, I'm too lazy to go downstairs and count thiem) 5 or 6 different sized holes to look through.  The combination of my eyes and glare from the top of my Sharps rendered me blind looking through my sight before I got this.  It's a lot cheaper than a Parts Unknown,  MVA or Baldwin, too.  

Most sight makers have a Hadley eyecup available, so if it's not a Pedersoli sight, you can probably find one to fit.

:D  I believe Lee Shaver http://www.egunsmith.com/ would be a good place to start.  Sell you a new site or make modifications to what you already have.

The sights usually come with small aperatures.  If the size of the hole is the problem, there's no reason you cannot drill it out yourself.
While doing other things I often wish I were hunting.

Pedersoli Roller

Kevin--Get the Pedersoli Rolling Block.  The rear sight aperture is easy to change or fix.  The EMF is a $595 case of heartburn looking for a place to happen.  rdnck.
