RE: Rifle Sites
I agree, you're going to spend as much money to get a decent sight put on as you would to buy a decent scope. There are a few kits out there I've seen that claim to be a do-it-yourself drill and tap kit, then the sights wouldn't be that expensive, but it's too risky in my opinion to try something like that yourself. Sure they'd help you save money if you got lucky, but what happens when you accidentally drill into the chamber, then have to pay a gun smith $50 bucks to get your jammed case out of your now worthless gun? I say go wot wally world and get one of their cheap scopes for now, they have somebody's (bushnell's I think) 3-9x39's for something like $40, they'd do fine until you could upgrade. Or look for a used scope, lots of guys buy a decent scope ($200 or so) then upgrade to Leupold's or Nikons, etc later, and just sell their old one's for whatever they can move them for. In fact, I myself am hoping to do so with one of my scope's soon, but prob. 6 mo. at least.
Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
