New project for one of my Knights
I have been pondering the idea of putting a long range sight on a Knight long Range Hunter. I talked to Lee Shaver at Shaver gunsmithing in Mo. and he thinks it is something he could do. He makes a Soule Long range sight, I was thinking of that along with a Lyman Globe front sight. I will post a stock photo of the LRH and sight. I think it would be a good combination. This would be mainly for target shooting

I have a sight something like that one that i was going to put on a Renegade... I have a question... can you move the sight vertically to given spot (range) without turning the elevation screw?
I am/was looking for a sight that i could just move to range point without spinning the elevation knob.
I ended getting a Lyman Peep sight as it has a push button release and you can elevate it to any given distance with in it's range. Even then I could not get it as high as you can with that one...
Here is information page on that sight - I think...

Go for it. I have done a couple, and it is alot of fun. Also don't rule out one of the ladder type sights. They are also very effective. Personally I d not like the front globe. It just limits the light too much for me. Longer range is no problem with what you are shooting. Just do it.
Also talk to Skinner if you want a cheaper priced one. He made the one in the photo below for $75. It fits on the Encore barrels. I mounted mine on an Encore barrel. TC also made some rea nice ones that can be bought for under $100. I just sold one here for $75. The TC sights are very nice. I have a set on a Renegade. Go for it. Tom.

Like if you were shooting 200 and now you have a target at 500 - I thought with that sight you could just move to sight to the distance...'
Isn't that what 'Quigley' used????
