MarkIII hunter V-notch sites.

[JRWhit]

Anybody else have an issue really Honing in a shot with these? I ended up ordering and replacing with target sites. Made for much smaller grouping.
I always had a hard time finding the edges of the front optic due to blur and would easily shoot just left or right thinking I had it centered.
maybe it's just my eyes.

I agree. They work fine for self defense but there are really a lot of better sights available for target work.

First thing I thought of when I got my 22/45. I may change mine out.

Which is the problem, the fiber optic front or V notch?

For me the V notch is hard to use.

Vee notch is for quick target acquisition. That Vee notch and large fiber optic on the Mark III Hunter makes it tough to hit a squirrels head at 25 yards, although the firearm is quite capable of doing so.
Meanwhile the Single Six Hunter comes with excellent sights, a brass disc on the front and a nice adjustable rear site.
In the end I ended up putting a scope on the Single Six to make use of it's long range capability, and a red dot on the Mark III to facilitate running bunny shots...

Agreed. I bought mine as an upgrade over the regular MkIII for target work. Never liked the sights, so I put a red-dot on it. Didn't like the red--dot and ended up selling the Hunter and keeping my original MkIII.

The rear sight blade (Square notch)is inexpensive and available from Ruger. Not that dificult to swap out either. 10 Min. job tops.

I ended up getting a little creative after getting the square notch from Ruger.
Picked up some model car white and some glow green for the front blade.
Sorry the pics are so grainy.
