Best sights

[lonewolf172]

Like many others I have poor eye sight. I need 1 pair of glasses to read with and another pair for driving. I'm going to be starting a Traditions Kentucky build and I'm looking for the best possible front and rear sights that would still be traditional.

Probably post and notch. I shoot with a set of 1x readers. It brings the front post into sharp relief and works pretty good for me.

I agree with dave951. All mine have a blade front and a notched rear. As the eyes have gotten dimmer I opened up the rear notches for more light on either side of the front.

Me too. And I do better with a rear that is flat on top rather than a semi-buckhorn.

Like this one.

I have a Lyman GPR. I replaced the front blade with a much narrower blade from TOTW, and this greatly improved my accuracy. I did not replace the rear buckhorn sight. It was a polished nickel blade with a brass base that was sold as a direct replacement for my GPR.

Move the rear sight forward on the barrel ,say 14" from the breech. Tape one on and see how it looks. Adjust as necessary forward or back.
