Hello, new member here.
I recently purchased a Henry lever action chambered for 44 mag. It has the standard Henry semi-buckhorn sights. After several sessions at the range, these sights just don’t seem to be working for me. I’m 67 years old, and although my eyes are not bad for my age, I don’t seen to be able to focus the sights properly to be accurate past about 40 yards. I see this gun as a 100 yards or closer gun, and part of it’s appeal to me is as a short range home/personal defense gun, so I really don’t want to put a traditional style scope on it. I’ve read some reviews that say peep sights or Patridge sights would help. I’m also open to any of the latest high tech systems, which I’m just beginning to research. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
