Hi folks,
Hope this is the right spot for this question. I have a '73 Win, 32-20, that I would like to play at shooting the levergun silhouette game. I'd like to put a tang sight on it, but due to very limited finances, most of what I see is way beyond my means.

I did contact Lyman about their No. 2, and could have got about as much help from a Wally World clerk! Do any of you have any experience with that sight, is it decently repeatable.

Appreciate your help, and have a good evening.

The no 2 sight is a decent sight for the money. It would work but it is
more suited to being set at one distance and left there.
For shooting silhouette you would be better off with a venier scale
rear sight from one of the varios makers. They are alot more expensive
but aloy easier to set to the different distances.
That being said if you are always shooting at the same club where you
now the amount of clicks needed to adjust the no 2 from one distance
to the other it willl work.
I have one on my Highwall and it has works well it just takes more
trouble to change your distance settings.
If you want to try a no 2 type peep sight my best friend has one on his
73. I live about 70 miles east of KC.

and remember the tang is really hard to drill and tap--without the proper tools better left to a gunsmith.

Check Marbles. Theirs is click adjustable for windage AND elevation. Each click = .4" at 100 yds. Very affordable. Yes you will need a gunsmith to drill and tap the tang.
