I finally got my Grandfathers old pump 22 rifle in working order.

One issue is that has these old Buckhorn sights that shoot high right even when on the lowest ramp and when using the lower plate sight which is adjusted full down and full left.

I think I would enjoy this gun more if it had either more modern set of sights or some type of peep sights like the ones that were options back then. Just not ones that cost $300+ dollars for them.

Any suggestions??

Get yourself a higher front sight and file down for proper elevation. Drift over the rear site to get the proper windage. Most slots for sights are 3/8" dovetail so there are lots of combinations available. This is a cheap and easy fix-it. dozier

Thanks dozier

Well the rear sight is fixed on and I have to move the plate in the slot which is already as far as it can go over. So I am going to file some of the plate off so I can move it around more both laterally and vertically and see how that goes.
