    Looking for tang sight suggestions for an H&R Buffalo Classic

    Hey there CGN, so I pick up a Harrington & Richards Buffalo Classic 45-70; one of these critters here:



    And to wring the most long range accuracy out of it I plan on mounting a tang sight like so:



    And I'm just looking for suggestions; realistically I don't anticipate shooting past oh say 500 yards, but who know?

    I know Marbles makes a few and I've found others, but I need a little direction I guess.

    You do know there are more guns in the country than there are in the city.
    Everyone and their mums is packin' round here!

    I have Pedersoli tangs sights on both my Springfield Trapdoor and Sharps both are 45-70 they work great but are bulky.
    Lyman & Marbles come to mind. I upgraded the Williams peep on my Buffalo Classic to a FP with target knobs.

      Does the William use the same screw holes the stock sight does?

      EDIT: found them

      70260 FP-H&R-TK For Buffalo Classic and Handi rifles. (With Target Knobs.)

      Nice.

        That looks pretty nice, and it's a drop in so no messing around with drilling the stock...mmmmmh. Interesting.

        And I already have a spare Merit target disc.

          I also put them on my Marlin 1894 44 mag and my Marlin 1895 45-70. I'd think it will do everything and more in your rifle.
