Buffalo classic Tang sight Installation
« on: February 07, 2007, 01:41:59 AM »
I have a 45.70 H&R Buffalo classic and it does not have a tang sight.  Nothing by bare wood in that area.  I would like some advice or someone to point me in the right direction for installing a tang sight on this rifle.  I am after converting this simple rifle into an accurate 1000 yard target gun.

I have heard of carefully routing out the base plate area, using epoxy for inserting sleeves and then screwing the tang sight into the sleeves.  I am more concerned with the line up of the sight since I can envision a real nightmare trying to sight in the rifle if some sort of expertise is not applied to this operation.

Can someone please help me.

Lee Shaver installs a false tang to mount the sight to. You should check out the NEF/H&R Centerfire forum here, lots of BC owners there.
