I have a sweet shooting little Marlin 60 that I took to the range to finally zero in to try to get some 1-hole groups. It's always been a pretty good shooter, but when I tried to adjust the sight, I found that the rear sight did not do a good job of staying where I drifted it for windage. In fact, just a slight touch from a finger would easily move it. Could be why the groups have been just a little loose!
I tried a drop of Loctite on the back of the sight/barrel, but it didn't stick. Maybe the barrel wasn't clean enough, or the Loctite was too old. Should I try it again, or is there a better way to secure the sight once you get it zeroed? I'm not keen on the aftermarket sights I've seen for it, and I don't want to mount a scope on this rifle. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
