How are the iron sights on the Handi rifles

I have iron sights on a .44 barrel.  IMHO the front sight is too wide to look at a target but good for the woods.  My complaint would be that it snags on everything.  It is undercut to a point (for shadow, I guess).  Other than that....they are functional.

I like them ok. They are better than the one on my Win, 30-30 :grin: I have the tracker II and the 45-70 and I us ethem for inside the treeline and had no problem dialing the guns in at 50 yds. They are tack drivers too :toast:

Try the One Ragged Hole replacement sight (replaces the leaf only) and you will not be disappointed.

I have one on my 45-70 and have one on order for my 44mag barrel that SHOULD be here in a few week ... I hope  :(
:D
