Love the BuckHorn

[PureBloodTexan]

First post don't judge me to hard.

I just bought a new case hardened BB in 357 mag this past week. I was a little sceptical of the buckhorn sites on it until this afternoon. I am in love with this site. I got the gun sighted in and set a box out at 50 yards. The three in the top left were 158 SJHP 357. The top right were 158 LHP 38 special +P. The four in the center were the 357s at 100 yards. This is where I fell in love with the buck horn. The way the site is set up makes it easy for hold over. The "site picture" (field of view) using the top of the buck horn at longer distance helps me to keep track of the target. I have read a lot of hate speech for the buck horn but still am not sure why. The only complaint I have is the front bead is alittle hard to see at times but this is not a hard fix.

( Don't judge my choice of targets lol)

Well done and welcome from one open sights guy to another. Nice rifle. Targets look ok to me for sure.

I also like your first Range Report, and especially your appreciation of the Henry buckhorn sight. That doesn't happen very often....many folk have found the buckhorn hard to use, and opt to change it out pretty quickly. I'm one of those.

But your POIs sure show how well a fellow can shoot with that stock iron sight. Good job!
BTW, your choice of targets is immensely better than some of the homemade ones I've used.
All part of the fun!

well done and welcome indeed .... beautiful rifle, I really like the Color Case Hardened finish .... understood on the Buckhorn rear sight .... a large number of folks here prefer a peep sight and have very good results .... for open sights, I prefer a Buckhorn .... please take a look at our How Many ? thread (link below) and add yours to our community's total

what part of Texas do you call home .... we spend our winters in our camper in Texas .... we are due to leave home in NC on Jan 4th and arrive at Lake Conroe on the 7th .... from there we will spend time at Medina Lake and on the Colorado River near Columbus .... some of the folks from this forum try to get together and shoot at a couple of different local ranges

Wow! Excellent shooting! You can’t ask for better than that!

Never to be judged hard here. I think most of us who have no use for buck horn have had our eyes go kaput with age. Amazon boxes are plentiful and make good targets!
