Hello all,
I have tried searching for this on my own, and even asked Brownell's online chat, but never got a response. I have a Winchester 94 Texas Commemorative edition 30-30. The front sight broke on it 20 years ago and my dad put a new sight on it, but it is too short. Even with the rear sight bottomed out, it shoots 6-8 inches high at 100 yards. I want to get the proper sight for it, but can't determine what it takes. The rifle was made in 1970, has a half round, half tapered barrel, and has no sight ramp on the front. I've read some info saying I need a .360" sight, one place said 0.5 inch. I think 0.36 seems too short for a rampless version. Any thoughts or knowledge?
