opinions on aperture sights
Guys.. I'm on the cusp of "improving" my new Henry 357 levergun... I shot it with the factory buckhorns, and my grouping was pretty dismal at 50 yards. At 25 yards it was somewhat better, but still not what the rifle is capable of...
The problem is 68 yr old eyes...
I've heard that aperture sights will improve things greatly, but I am just curious if they will make this a hunting-worthy rifle.
So, in you older guys' experience, will apertures allow me to shoot actual groups at 50-100 yards, or should I just go with a scope? By eliminating having to focus on the rear sight, does that bring the front sight and target into better resolution?
I know the scope will make the rifle less "handy" to some extent, but I'm willing to do that if that's what I need to do to get good groups.
