Hi
I searched this sight for quite a while trying to answer this for a while but didn't find out what I wanted to know.
I've just purchased an 1982 Rossi with a 24 inch barrel in .45 Colt. I'm primarily a pistol shooter using iron sights 95% of the time. I also shoot CMP Sporter with a 6x Weaver scope on the bolt action CZ-452. I've shot an air gun with front and back aperture sights on it, so I'm used to the dual aperture sights. Of course the air gun is a single shot. Does anyone use a globe front sight shooting Cowboy Action? Is it worth a try or not? I don't like the current set up that well, but I only have 20 shots through the gun right now anyway.
The second question is whether or not globe front sights on a lever action is remotely period correct. I know that Sharps rifles utilized them since their introduction, but there is NO second slight picture to acquire on a Sharps.
So, I have two questions:
1. Is a globe front sight on an 1982 lever action period correct?
2. Is a globe front sight on an 1892 lever action a good idea shooting wise?
Thanks
