Range Report Marlin 1895CB
« on: March 18, 2005, 03:06:29 AM »
Castman.
Tried the Lee 405 in the 1895 last week. Fried as three shot one hundred yard group of .485".
I installed a Smith ladder sight also.
The cases are weighed and indexed along with the cast bullets.
A plan worked out. I know it is a fluke but thought I would pass on the outcome anyway.

:shock:
Dang man...that is amazing...
I doubt I could do that with a PSG1 with a 24x scope! (no that I have one...)

Not familiar with what a "smith" ladder site is.  Is it a tang style site?  Where can I see one?

Smith Ladder Sight.

The Smith Ladder Sight is shown on the Buffalo Arms web sight.
It is not a tang sight. It slides into your exisitng dovetail for your rear sight.
