Rifle is in a crate somewhere on it's way, but that's ok, thanks anyhow. If it doesn't work out I can always change the sight. The guy I am buying form is a gunsmith. We'll see how it goes.

It does say elevation and windage adjustments, but I don't know much about 'em at this point.

*Looks like you are correct, just found this on another site....The No. 2 tang sight has no provision for windage adjustment.

Like I said, we'll see how it shoots, of course if I miss it's all the sights fault, not mine....

So I did some homework and the tang sight I ordered is actually made by Pedersoli for Uberti and supplied through Taylors. It is this one and the Pedersoli sight says adjustable for elevation and windage. Not an actual Lyman sight. Let's hope it has both adjustments!
