Hello all,
So I finally got a chance to take my new Schmidt Rubin K31 to the range this morning - it's awesome! The rifle is definitely everything it's cracked up to be. It's really accurate, and the straight pull bolt is the smoothest, fastest action I've ever handled.
I had a question pertaining to the sights, though. I've never been really big on notch/post style sights like those on the K31, Mauser, Mosin, etc. I never feel like I can actually see the front sight very well. For me, peep sights are like God's gift to iron sights. Now, I am planning on eventually getting a Mojo rear sight when cash permits, but that might be awhile. In the meantime, is there anything I can do to make it easier to use those sights? I was thinking that I could paint the front sight to make it more visible... if this is a viable solution, what should I use to paint the it (nail polish, model paint, etc)?
Thanks,
Nic
