Buffalo Hunter Sights Question
« on: April 22, 2006, 10:53:53 AM »
I just purchased a new Buffalo Hunter Classic to participate in SASS shooting. I have to change the factory installed sights out.

I am planning on getting the Smith Buckhorn Sight made for the BHC. My question is what should the front blade height be?????

Welcome aboard!!  The .404" tall 17A sight is the right height  if you can match that with an SASS legal sight. www.BuffaloArms.com is a great place to look, give em a call next week for help, the dovetail is a standard 3/8".
