Thanks for the poop Nomercy. I looked at that XS sight and It looks like a possibility, even if I have to drill new mounting holes. Those suckers aren't cheap though. When I looked at it the thought jumped into my head "if I get that I'll likely scope it and the scope will likely stay on it". So I started looking a scope bases and now I'm thinking scope. I have a nice little 4X somewhere in the closet that would fit it nicely on a trim little one-piece DNZ base.

How far out do you feel comfortable with that 158 grainer on deer Bigboomer? Heck, it's probably pretty close to a 150 grain 30-30 load which most consider a 150 yard cartridge. Dang, I've got to do a little reloading data research.
