sights for old eyes

[bearandoldman]

Well the other day my Hi Viz sight set for one of my 10/22's came in, it's a front and a rear. The rear has a fiber optic around the "U" in the blade and the front has the interchangeable rods. It takes a few brisk hit with a small hammer and punch to Remove and replace the sights, us old service techs do know how to use a hammer and usually have good selection of sizes. Got them lined up pretty well and went to the range yesterday to try them out. Left the green bead in the front and found out it would be better to use an orange to contrast with the Green "U"". Just want this for 25 foot or so fun shooting, well it was only off about a 1/2 inch right and maybe 3/4 high, so it does not really need much adjusting, not bad for an old guy eh? This is the way for us older guys to go as the stock front sight was almost invisible when pointed at the target. Only fired 20 rounds, as it was just 20 degrees at the time, as it proved the point ands the range is close to home.

Not off much but 20 derees is the mpratur,you Texans do not know what cold is.
Bought it from Rimfire sports for I believe $27.95 or was it $29.75, either way the damn thing works firn, Has a green dot on each side of the "U"{ and you just have to cemter the front dot ands shoot. Just need to move the rear sight about .025 left and the rear down about .035 and we should be dead on. Warmer temps wpi;d make the shootter work a lot better. 20 degrees plus the wind chill may have altered the wobble compensator in the shooters control system. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

When the temperature drops below 32 I tend to limit the number of rounds shot to one per degree. So you did about what I would have.

Sounds like a plan to me, coffee or a little Black Jack and water for medicinal purposes only to ease the pain. Lived in Michigan all my life and I guess I have learned to be able to take the weather or leave it too. Hope that storm out that way did not bother you too much, we had a nasty ice storm worse than that in the late 70's or very early 80's.

Weather hasn't bothered us here yet. We've been getting mostly rain with a little light snow that turned to slush.

See some of the states north and east of you got some bast ice storms. Mu oldest daughter and her family lived in Princeton for a few years but moved to Florida about 5 years ago.
