Fellas, besides eliminating them, what is the best way to get rid of the fuzzy haze i have on the top edge of my rear sight?? Would flat black paint help or some other color?? Just wondering if any of you oldtimers have a quick fix or remedy for this. I don't want to go to a peep sight either.

Your problem is called presbyopia. You have three options:

1. Get shooting glasses wwith a correction built in. You will need an optometrist that is shooter-friendly, as you will need the rifle in his office.

2. Use a scope.

3. Use an aperture rear sight.

I tend to disagree as i do not have this problem with an open sighted Savage 99c or any of my rimfires. Thank you for the reply though.

I usually replace the factory rear sight with one off a Marlin 22 rimfire and trim the front sight into a square. Actually as long as you can see the front sight clearly to place it properly into the notch you will shoot plenty good for deer. I just don't like round front sights or rear sights with indefinite horizontal boundaries like what comes on Winchester's 94.

I use flat black paint on mine, also I use flat white on the front bead.

Some folks file the buckhorn sight flat across the top, works pretty good and doesn't cover up so much of the target animal...thats what bothers me about buckhorn sights.

Using a lighter or a match just smoke the sight and see if that does the trick, if so then a dab of flat black touch up across the top edge should work. Ray also offers some good advice, the buckhorns really serve no practical purpose but are great at limiting your extended vision in the target area. I would do both.
