Tang sights for a Uberti/Pedrosoli Quigley Sharps?
« on: October 28, 2006, 12:06:57 PM »
Hi all:
I just bought a Uberti Quigley Sharps in 45-70 and I want to add some decent Tang Sights and possibly a new front sight. I am not a competetive shooter and will be shooting casually at 100-300 yards with factory cowboy loads. Does anyone have a recomendation for some mid-range tang sights and a front sight that will work well. I am considering Kelley Tang sights and a windage adjustable Beech combination front sight. Any feedback at all?
TIA for your expertise.

 Why not just get one of the Pedersoli Soule type tang sights? You can find them here:

Check out Lee Shavers work on sights and give him a call.  He has a website at www.egunsmith.com too.

Thanks Guys. MM93, I 've heard kind of mixed reviews anout the pedrosoli sights. For my casual use, they would probably be fine so I will look into them.  Guns, thanks and I have heard very good stuff about Shaver's sights. There are a good many choices out there and part of the battle is where to find a selection you can compare. Buffalo Arms, Jeff's, Dixie and some of the sight mfg have sites also. Thanks and I will decide soon.

 There's definitely no comparison between Lee Shaver's sights, and any Pedersoli! His sights are in a whole other realm!

Totally agree!  No comparison between Lee Shaver's sights and the others. 

Lee's sights are the best bang for the buck out there!
