Newbie to this sight & Survivor question
« on: February 03, 2005, 01:19:14 PM »
Well, i'm new to this sight and really like it.  Been trolling for a few days before registering, today.

Hello, my name is Bill, and I'm a HandiHolic!  

It started out at the last gun show, a month ago, that came through town.  Bought a .50 cal Sidekick Muzzleloader for me & a synthetic .22 hornet for my 13 year old.  I haven't even fired either one yet, and can't wait til it warms up some.  

Now back to the topic.  After playing with the toys, I've decided to send the son's rifle for another barrel or two, probably the .30-30 Win or .44 Mag with sights.  

Realizing that would only leave the ONE Handi in the house, it's obvious I'll have to buy a Survivor in .223 so they can play together at a later date.  Just curious though, is the drop at stock low enough on the Survivor to use iron sighted barrels, are scoped tubes the only choice?  

Anyone got that set-up?  Looks like the 2 - 2 1/2" drop is more than the drop on iron sighted guns, but they don't list the drop measure for standard guns on the H&R websight.

Thanks.

:D , Welcome aboard OBXPilgrim, and yes, you can shoot iron sights using the Survivor stock. The drop at the comb for the Tracker II with iron sights is listed at 1 1/2" vs. the 2" for the Survivor stock. I have and enjoy my Survivor stocks and know for sure you can shoot iron sighed barrels with them...<><.... :grin:

Howdy Pilgrim (sorry couldn't resist).   :grin: Welcome to the forum sounds like you have the Handi-holism bug pretty bad.  I believe that the Survivor stock is designed to accommodate iron sights.  I'm sure that someone who has first hand knowledge will chime in here soon.  So in the mean time pull up a chair and brows away (we prefer not to use the word "trolling" here).  :D

Thanks -

I thought the irons would work.  

Guess it will be .44 mag spares for both of us.  



You're right Brett - that was kinda poor choice of words.
