Buckhorn sights..

Post by morgan in nm »

Does anybody know where I can find a full buckhorn sight that works basically like the winchester sight(adjuster in the center). I have been looking for an aftermarket that still looks decent. Some of them I seen have the ears but I don't like the way their shaped. I was told that smith enterprise used to make one but they are very expensive. I have tried twice to make one but failed miserably.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Smith Enterprise buckhorn is very well made and worth the money if you can find one. I have one on my 1886 Browning SRC and it works great with the green fiber front I made for it.

I also ordered my full buckhorn sights from Midway USA. They are Marbles sights, IIRC. Great deal and they had a large selection.

About three years ago I ordered a Marbles full buckhorn to put on my grandson's 94 Win. 30-30, he really likes it, just like using a peep sight.

I prefer a semi-buckhorn sight myself. I put a Marbles semi-buckhorn on my Uberti Model 1873 a number of years ago. Have always been very pleased with it. They make a very nice full buckhorn too.
