Took my Winchester .44 magnum Wrangler out last night. I bought it as a "back up" rifle and loaner for friends would might need an "emergency" gun to shoot. I also wanted a Winny since they are now historical.
It was darker than usual and overcast with a slow drizzle starting up at the range.
I used the .44 mag Leveroution ammo. (GREAT STUFF)
At 50 yards I printed 3 hits across the center of the target holding dead on.
But here's my problem. Because of being older and requiring reading glasses for up close work (otherwise my vision is perfect) I can see either the target (no glasses) or the gun sights (with glasses), but not both.
At 100 yards I hit all around my smallish (one of those "exploding green dot targets you get at Gander) target. Not really good enough for deer hunting in my opinion.
Is there a way of modifying my gun without mounting a scope that will make sighting any easier? Or, are there any other tricks you have learned to deal with this problem. I DO NOT want to put a scope on it.
Maybe I'm just out of luck and am limited to shorter ranges with this gun?
My friend who was with me had exactly the same problem.
