Mornin Boys,, Ya know, My eyes are not like they used to be and I don't want a scope yet, So I went to optic sights on my T/C hawken, I got their optic sights, I was still havin problems seain (x-Navy) So I found some fixes,,, I need 250 glasses to read, I am far sighted, This year I could not sea the front sight (or game) with glasses and could not sea the rear with out em, So I tried usin a pair of 125 and I have my old eyes back (kinda) 150 was to much, My next problem was the front sight that T/C makes it too small for me, I shoot usin the 6 o'clock position , After 1 month of tryin to find some one to make a bigger front sight for me I found this site https://www.hivizsights.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=36&cat=Rifle
I am gettin the Item No. DOVM500 Dovetail Rifle Style Front Sight, T/C
measure's from the dove tail up, this company don't, So the 380 won't work, Plus I have found out that the T/C rear optic sight works better the farther down you can have it, Less play side to side, I know that 1/16 play ain't much, that's only 1/32 each side but it makes a difference at 50 yards,, I will check it all out when I get my barrel back from T/C and the new sight in the mail, The boy that I talked to where I bought it from said he uses the DOVM-3/8" Dovetail / Rifle / Muzzle Loader Sight on his 45 and 50 T/C Hawkens, and thinks I ""MIGHT"" have a good idea goin with the DOVM500,, He likes the sights,,,,,
Drop em with the OLD optic sights
