Tenn. Mountain Rifle
 
Ready to rocknroll!! Installed the new sights today and i LOVE them!

.380" Front sight, Universal rear sight. Both use .375" dovetail and fit like a glove. The rear sight actually has an additional screw that you tighten down on and it locks the rear sight into the dovetail just for added security.

Came with a total of 6 fiber optics that you can swap out. Some look the same color in the picture but theres one thats more of a yellowish color, along with green, red, and orange. I just switched over to the orange optic as my eye adjusted to the darker color.

The Red tab looking deal is kind of a key that you use to press the spring down that holds the fiber optic in place. Very crafty and looks pretty sturdy


"Reddish fiber optic installed here"



The low-left holes were sighting in shots. The shots at the top of the bulls eye and all in a hole are 3 final shots at 60 yards. I still might be a couple inches low at 100 yards but we will see when I get out there.

320gr REAL conicals lubed with spray on Graphite " Just testing this for now" - Lubed wad, 90gr Goex 2F. CCI #11 Magnum Caps.


And here she is in all her beauty!

Devil, those three in the bull may be the best I've ever seen out of REALs at that distance. You've got a great hunting load there.

Yeah she shot under 2 1/2" at 100 yards with 90gr Pyrodex RS, I am hoping the 2f Goex will improve on that. Then again!! That 2 1/2" group at 100 yards was with the original blade sights i struggled to see.

That is excellent shooting MD.

Looks beautyful out today so im going to hopefully get out to the 100 yard range and see how she does. May take a shot at 75 yards first just to make sure everything is where it should be.
