I'm a firm believer in reading instructions. I learned that from my wife :) . however the instructions that came with this sight had nothing to say about sighting it in...only on how to install the battery--along with a great set of "Engrish" sayings. Sigh... Some great advice from all of...

It's a cheap reflux ($59). I checked the weaver mount and it was solid. I think shimming the dang thing will be the only way to get it to work right. I forgot that when I first starting shooting with it, I don't think I even hit the target backboard (about 2 ft below bullseye) at 25 yards...

Yes...I think that can be done. I know it sounds silly but heck the sight only cost $59 so using a piece of aluminum can would be right in line with the value of the sight itself. :)

You might want to steer clear of in-lines if you plan on shooting smokepoles for years to come. The trend is showing to be that states are banning the use of in-lines during "Muzzleloading Hunts". Oregon already has and so has Idaho and several other states. It's only a matter of time when...

Ok...I'll just admit it...I'm stupid or something. I just bought this NCstar compact red dot tactical sight for my Ruger Mark III and took it to the range. I adjusted the sight (using screw adjuster) to shoot as high as I could but still couldn't hit the target at 15 yards. Red dot was...

I just purchased an NCSTAR compact tactical red dot sight for my Ruger Mark III Target pistol, attached it and took it to the range. :banghead: The dang thing has my pistol shooting almost 2 feet below target even though I've adjusted the sight upwards to its highest point. What am I doing...

Unfortunately, rcmodel may be correct. I just purchased an NCStar compact red dot tactical sight for my .22 pistol. I can't adjust the dang thing up high enough to hit the target. Pistol shoots 1-1.5 feet below target when the Dang red dot is on bullseye at 15 yards! I got so frustrated I...

Being a Mark III owner and having to deal with the regular take down and clean up, I would lean towards looking at a different gun altogether. Look into a Browning Buck Mark. I've heard they're easier to fieldstrip and clean than the Mark III. You should also be able to pick one up for about...

I've recently purchased a Ruger Mark III pistol (Target Bullnose) that came with a "custom" weaver mount. I want to put a red dot wide field sight on the weaver mount. My question is: do I have to use Loctite on the screws to attach the mount or can I get by with simply checking the mount...

I've found my Taurus PT-92B to be quite accurate also and the kick isn't a whole lot more than my Ruger Mark III. I'm somewhat new to shooting and felt the same way your son did...wanted something with more testosterone behind it. :) Does your son's gun have non-adjustable rear sights? If...

Thanks Wally. Your sight mount looks like it would fit mine. I'll check it out. Any other idea's out there? Maybe if I included a picture that would help.

Bumping up to the top. HELP :confused:

I have a Taurus PT92B (made 2001) that was made before the tactical rails were introduced. My question is (and I know it may be stupid but I've seen some mighty smart idea's on this forum over time!) can the rear "fixed mount" be removed and a scope mount or some other mount be put in its place...

Finally had a chance to get to the range yesterday. Did some serious comparisons between BP and 777. Used PRB's and modified the 777 to be about 15% less than the BP. First shot 10 rounds using BP...then 10 rounds with 777. For simplicity sake I shot 100 grains BP and 85 grains 777. Also...

After searching the web on different in-lines I have to agree with you Articap. For about the same price as a new drop-in GM barrel one can pick up a decent CVA dedicated sabot shooter that's designed for higher black powder loads with scope mounts. Where I live, you can shoot any old...
