I have a cadet in pretty good shape, it is orginal as far as I can tell and I want to keep it that way. Is there anyway I can improve the sights so I can see them better. I am of the age that my eyes don't see iron sights that well. I have brass and boolits coming and will welcome any suggestions. Thank you Bill Zorn

hi Bill get some cheap reading glasses that u can see the sights with. this will
probbaly make the target blurry but u will be surprised how well u can shoot that way.

4.5 grains of Unique or 11 grains of Alliant 2400 and the 120 grain .320 heeled boolit cast of wheel weight alloy is the ticket for my cadets. I have the same one I bought at Simpson-Sears in Guelph, Ontario in 1957. It didn't get shot much after I ran out of the original ammo that came with. Great guns; no better rifle to introduce a young shooter to centerfire shooting. Lots of info on them at british militaria and martini web sites.
