adjusting open sights windage
« on: May 23, 2010, 06:09:27 AM »
Anyone got a good source for a quality screwdriver small enough to fit the screw to adjust windage on factory rear sight?  Guess my eyes are getting old, thought it was a pin!

Try an eyeglass repair kit. It may be your best bet for a tiny screwdriver.

I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

Thanks guys, the 30-30 I bought used online is dead on out of the packing 1" group 75 yards Hornady 160 gr LE...my 20ga tracker I, will need some serious adjustment if I keep shooting the Remington cheapo slugs I bought 8" high and 6" left at 25 yards...at least it's consistent!  DT

Home Depot has a Husky set that has several bits that fit in the handle of the driver which yields a full set of mini screwdrivers...very high quality and about $5.00 if I remember right.  I have one in my range box full time.

I use one of these.  It's got room in the kit to add some allen wrenches, the kind that come with scope rings.  With this set and the allen wrenches I've added, I don't think that any tinkering chores are a problem.
