This video shares a useful method of setting your rifle's open sights. The sample rifle is a Model 94, but the techniques are applicable to many others as well. The method used enables you to check your sight settings at a later time, to be sure nothing has been bumped out of line since sighting in, before going afield.

there is a reference point on the rear sight. One can put a piece of painter's tape in front of the dovetail point and with a pencil mark a line or a dot, etc for reference and as you move the rear sight, one can see how much its moving referencing the line or dot on the tape. you got a fine old 94 there. Owned a few in my 76 years.

Thank you for your information on model 94. I didn't want to move the sights where my grandfather left them. He gave me the gun when he passed. But with new types of rounds on the market. I like to make sure that I move it without losing his ammo load he was using. I will keep a log from now on.

Thank you for this video! This is the best one I have seen on this subject. What is the distance that you sight in at? I have a Williams peep sight on my model 94 and have been trying to get sighted in, this video will help.
@TheWaytoNativeChronicles
@TheWaytoNativeChronicles 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Doug. I've often thought about getting a peep sight on my Model 94. If it's mounted on the tang, it may not be windage-adjustable, so adjusting the front sight is definitely the way to go then (I have a tang-mounted peep sight on one of my Ruger No. 1's that I adjust that way - a video of that setup can be seen here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rN-Vqal_2LSWdH0.html ) But your Williams sight probably is capable of windage adjustment, so I would adjust on the rear sight instead of the front, in your case. As far as sight-in distance goes, I used to sight my Model 94 in at 150 yards, but I now sight it to zero at 100 because, in reality, I consider it mainly a 100 yard shooter (even though it can kill at further distances). So it just seems better, knowing it's dead-on at 100 for hunting purposes. Normally, however, I choose a sight-in distance based on the cartridge's 'point-blank' range (the distance it can be zeroed without it's mid-range height exceeding the requirements of hitting an 8" diameter target). Hope that helps.

Thanks for your video & info on these open sights!! I used my brother in laws newer scoped gun & missed 2 shots or opportunities! So I still prefer my Winchester 30-30!! My question though, sighting in at 50yrds on flat ground, should my rear sight be on position 1 or 5 to start(higher on the ladder or lowest point)??? Thanks Again!!
@TheWaytoNativeChronicles
@TheWaytoNativeChronicles 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Sea Monkey and thanks for your comment. Sorry, but I can't really give you guidance on what step to use on your rear sight because it's something you have to determine by trial & error on the range, shooting at a target. Start with a target set at 25 yards and, if you're close to the right height (bullseye) there, then try 50 yards next. You'll need to steady your rifle as well as possible so you get tight groups. Based on 5 shots at the target you should get an idea of whether you have the sights right, or if they need to go up or down. For hunting purposes the gun doesn't have to be a tack driver - just so long as you can put all 5 shots on target within an 8-10" circle (the kill zone size of a deer). Hope this helps.

I have a Henry with a loose front sight. I was wondering how to tighten the dovetail joint.
@TheWaytoNativeChronicles
@TheWaytoNativeChronicles 3 жыл бұрын
You could cut out a thin piece of metal (beer can perhaps?) the size of the front sight base (the part that goes into the dovetail). Then push that and the rear sight into the dovetail in one piece. The slight extra height that results will probably make the sight wedge more tightly in the dovetail slot. Let me know if this works for you Jeffrey. Another method is to take a steel punch and tap a little crater into the bottom of the front sight to achieve a similar effect.

Thanks. Yes, it is home made. My wife is full-blood Native and grew up being taught their traditional crafts. She's especially talented in the beading aspect and makes moccasins, muk-luks, mittens, vests and other things. If you'd like to see her work, I provide a look at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rseWetNi0dC5lGg.html . Because everything's done by hand (including the tanning of the moose hide, if you want that used), the costs get up there though. The vest I'm wearing in the video is priced at approximately $2,000 Cdn.

I have 2 questions. I have a Savage Mark II F. Its a 22LR bolt. Anyway, The rear sight has a little jiggle to it. It can make me shoot off to the right or dead center. How can I tighten up the rear sight so it doesn't jiggle left and right? I've reached out to Savage 2 times with no response. Second. I have the rear sight as low as it goes and this gun still shoots a little high. What is my next step?

It's hard to say, since I'm not intimately knowledgeable regarding that firearm. If you're as low as you can go with the rear sight, you might have to purchase a new, taller front sight though.

Glad to hear you found the video of assistance Lance. (by the way, you probably meant "pre 64", right?) One of the reasons for wrapping the rear sight in tape is because it's possible to lose the little piece with the steps. I've seen that happen in the case of other rifles with that design before. I forgot to mention that in the video.
