new sights
« on: March 14, 2006, 11:04:41 AM »
I've got a used but in halfway decent shape Model 760 in 300 Savage and want to upgrade the sights.  Won't get rid of the originals but want to use this gun more.  I was looking at some buckhorns and notice they have some windage adjustment built into the rear sight now.  Is there a specific version that I need for this rifle or will any dove tail design work?  I'm also wondering if there are any fiber optic sights that will work?

Thanks,

Josh

I don't have a Remington pump, but I did put HiViz sights on my Winchester 94 last year.  The difference was astounding!  I wanted better windage adjustments.  I found a 1/4 turn of the rear screw equaled 1" elevation adjustment at 100 yards.  With my handloads and the new sights, I can shoot 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards--with IRON SIGHTS!!!  

The HiViz were easy to put into the dovetails.  The rear portion slid right in; however, the front sight was a little tight, so I had to file some metal off the new front sight.  I think they made it that way to fit various makes.  I don't know if they make one specifically for Remington, but check it out.

Good Luck!

Oops on my part--I put TruGlo on my Winchester 94.  I use HiViz on my 870 for turkey hunting.

I see on the TruGlo website that they make sights specifically for Remingtons.

Good Luck.
