Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Got out to the range with a Ruger 22 auto I put together from parts. Then I discovered it shot wide to the left. The rear sight is staked in place & I thought it would be an ordeal to "dial it in" with a hammer.

So I scored a scope mount & rooted through a cupboard for an early Tasco red dot sight I bought back in the day when I shot IPSC. Apparently the guy who sold it to me had it already dialed in - had a plastic pop bottle bouncing all over the place with the 1st magazine. After I bought new batteries which happily are still available.

It was odd shooting with both eyes wide open, but once I got used to it, I can't believe I left it sit all those years - I like it! :bigrin:

Might even have to look into newer dot sights. SW

I looked up cost of an adjustable rear sight... using what I already had seemed the way to go since I need an ambi safety for the Smith 469 soon to arrive. And it's really not that heavy. SW

Bushnell has a really tiny one that has been on the market a couple of years now.

Trophy TRS 25, and it goes about 90-130 bucks depending on where you buy. I'm waiting for cabelas here to put them on sale again, and I'll try one then. Missed the last sale.

A 3 minute dot seems o.k. for pistols from what I've seen with the Tasco RD-32-22, which has a body about 4 times the size of the Trophy 8-)

...

Picked up the shooting both eyes open habit a very long time ago, and still do it- even with some pretty beefy scopes. It seems to keep my hit ratio in the + range.

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
