Default Little Gun = Big Fun

I bought a NIB SS Knight Wolverine a couple months ago and on Father's Day I finally took the time to shoot it. My oldest son and I set the target at 50 yards and we took turns shooting off a shooting stick. We used 250 grain XTP's and 85 grains of 3f 777. Never did any adjusting on the sights, it shot about 3 inches high at 50 yards. It really seemed to like this load.
This gun dates back to the mid 90's, before they were putting the fiber optic sights on the Wolverines. Do you think it would help if I painted the front sight with some fluorescent paint. These old eyes aint what they use to be.

I have done that paint trick. Another thing you can do is if you have any type correction fluid a.k.a. white out. Paint the front sight with that and it will stick out like a sore thumb. My little Wolverine likes the same kind of loads...
