How does one use the buckhorn rear sight on a Winchester model 1873?
Edit - I think the OEM rear sight is a semi-buckhorn as the horns stand straight up and do not curve inwards.
I’ve just received a new M73 in 45Colt and was wondering what is the best way to hold the sight for a target at 50yds.
The sight has a very small notch down in the bottom of the buckhorn, I was thinking that’s the short range sight and for some yet undetermined longer range I would float the front bead even across the center line of the buckhorns.
Also the rear sight elevator has several stair steps, which position would be best to start a for a 50 yd target.
