I have a 50 cal. Pedersoli Frontier long rifle. It has a buckhorn rear sight and a front blade sight.
I am having a terrible time seeing the sights with these old eyes until it really becomes very light outside. I hate to say it, but I am thinking about putting fiber optic sights on it. I am just having a terrible time thinking about the appearance of that beautiful old rifle (even though it is just a replica) with modern sights :shake: . I tried painting the back side of the front blade with white paint and it helped just slightly.
Do you think the fiber optic sights will help? Any other alternatives I could try? Otherwise it's just wait til a good 30 to 45 minutes after sunrise to shoot; and that is a very real possibility even though it means passing up an early deer.
