New sights for 30-30
I have a 30-30 with iron sights, it is a nice rifle for hogs in south Texas but I have a problem with the sights.
Last year someone dropped the rifle somewhere in the ranch and now I just can´t get it to shoot right. It places the shots in a pretty decent group but 20 INCHES TO THE RIGHT AT 100 YARDS!!!!
Since the sights don´t have any horizontal alignment I´m thinking of getting a new set with MOA adjustment.
Can you recommend any brand/model sights?
Any comments will be appreciated.

RE: New sights for 30-30
There is adjustment. The sight is either bent or it has moved in it's slot. Determine which and then correct it. You may have to drift it with a brass or other soft metal punch, but I wouldn't scrap the sights you have unless you just don't like them or they are broken somehow. Move the rear sight to the left a bit and shoot it, keep doing that until you're back in line.

You may wish to check out Williams Gun Sight Company. Last year I put a Firesight F.O. front sight onto a Win .32 Special lever gun. It is very nice. Williams has them plus many others. Check them out @: www.williamsgunsight.com
