I bought a Remington Hepburn 45/70 about a year and a half ago. It's a pretty nice gun. It has made two trips to the range.
The sight did not stand 90° to the barrel. It did sit 90° to the tang and was somewhat loose feeling. Over all the sight feels solid. I'm not sure what brand it is.
I was loading some smokeless 45/70 and was thinking I really need to order a MVA for it. I went to the website and had decided on the midrange for 425.00. I decided to take the sight staff off and see if I could file the slot a little longer and maybe bend it to add more pressure. To my surprise the flat spring was upside down. I turned it over and the bent piece lock in to the staff holding it tight and 90° to the barrell. Overall I very happy with it. Very solid windage and elevation. It's not a MVA but I just saved 425.00 plus shipping.....
Anyone recognize this sight?
