I'm tryin!

But my eyes just need help.
I can shoot pretty good with a dot but the sights are getting even blurrier.
I'm ALL over the place.
And they ain't gettin any better so I'm slowly coming to grips with my
age:roll:

Weaver makes flat scope bases - the #61, IIRC, and they make specific bases for various flat receivers. All would require drilling and tapping. I'd check with Brownells.

Don't know about the flattops, but Leupold makes a base for the new models. Give em a call. If nothing else you will let them know there some out there wantin one.

No drilling - I'll struggle with my eyes before I go hacking on it.

As I age I find that the shorter barrels 4 5/8 let me get a clearer sight picture.

I believe weaver makes one that replaces the rear sight is easy to put on and take off and doesn't mar the gun and is not to spendy. Like I said I believe it will fit a flat top not a hundred percent sure

try a peep sight umm like a gost ring i have one on my blackhawk works good
scopes look good on tenders & encores. i payed i think $10. for the one i have
a guy on G/B sells them (sixshot) is his handle i think i would have to go back and
look to be 100 percent

I tried that peep out and I actually shot worse - Just put my original back in
yesterday.
I have a couple of those Weaver bases in the basement waiting to get fitted
to their new home I'll see what kind of jerry riggin it'll take.
What p*sses me off is all the years of good eyes I wasted looking through
my 36x scopes - I guess it wasn't a waste but should have done it in the other
order:violin:

Try a little aperture on your glasses. Merritt makes a stick on or just use a piece of masking type tape with a small hole in it 1/16 in. or so. Your sights will look like your a kid again.It works. Glen

Wide rear notch.

Few weeks ago a fellow showed me his Springfield 1911 with old man sights. Rear notch was wider than normal. Was surprised that I could focus them. They were an of the shelf option.
