1860 Army Question

[ernbar]

I believe it is a Uberti. I am the original owner, had it for quite some time. Smooth action, haven't shot it a bunch.

I think I read somewhere that they are built/ sighted for 75 yards. I group well off the bench at 50 but a full foot high! 30 grains of 3F. Anyone experience this? Any input is appreciated

I replaced my front sight to print lower. Easy fix.

I shoot 25 grain in mine, and I aim about 6” low at 50’. Usually pretty close to the center.

Nice shooting man. I am going to get there

Agreed that rifles have their place. My thoughts are use the pistol to it's full capability. Lots of folks have the opinion that a handgun is strictly a short range weapon. I like to show them the error of their ways.

Try placing the front bead so it is barely visible in the bottom of the rear sight notch. This sighting, a "fine bead" should help you lower your POI without altering your pistol. A decent pistol shot can make 100 yard hits on reasonably sized targets without too much trouble. YMMV
