I've got a .375 Ruger Guide Gun and want to replace the factory express sights with something that acquires a little quicker and is more accurate. What do you all use? A receiver mounted ghost ring sight with a fiber optic front sight is something that I have been interested in but I wonder if those of you with more experience might have some recommendations? Thanks :D
 
IF I could figure out how to mount one on my Searcy w/o drilling any holes I'd already have it mounted. I do have a fiber optic up front and love it.
Check out Skinner sights. There's another nice looking outfit but I can't recall their name.
 
XS sights is the other one to take a look at. IF they have screw in apertures that'd be better for sighting or bright days.
 
PH Ivan Carter (see photo in linked article), a member here on AH, uses a reflex sight on his Heym Double. I have one on my .404 Jeffery. You may be interested?

:hmmmer: Doc is that because you cant see the sights anymore at your age? :heh::heh:

I think it's because he got wiser with his age :hmmmer: :heh::heh:.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
