You bet, still all original. I actually really like the factory sights. They took some getting used to but so far I am doing ok with them.daytime dave wrote:That's nice shooting. Aren't you glad you are doing it all off hand? The more you practice, the better you will become.
Do you have the factory sights on it still, I can't remember?
Happy New Year All!

I only ask because you could likely close those groups in a bit with the right sight from skinner. Andy's pretty busy, but I bet he could recommend something that would make you even better.
When I get some time to shoot, I'm going to look into a few options at his place. The Henry sights are fine. The skinner sights will be finer. Just need the time.

Re: July 1st BB45C at the range
I expect that's true from what I've heard on the forum here. I kinda like the looks of the brass one he has, but I really hate to mess with the original look of the rifle...might not make sense to some, but I have been wearing the same set of spurs for 40 years so change isn't really my thing...who knows maybe one day.

No, I'd say that it's not really your thing.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I agree.
