Sights

I need help sighting in my model 94. My problem is I'm 4 inches high at 30 yards. I don't have any adjustment left on my rear peep sight. If I lower it anymore I'm resting on the action. As far as I can tell my only option is to Change my front sight. Has anyone ever come across this problem and am I going to be able to find a higher front sight for my .32 WSP? Any help would be appreciated. Deer hunting opens in 5 days and I'm looking forward to trying my newly acquired rifle.

This is a common problem when you mount a peep sight. You just have to get a taller front sight. Marbles is who made my taller front sight for my 336ADL, but Williams, Lyman, and Skinner all can help you out. I ordered mine from Midway USA, but you probably should consult directly with one of these sight manufacturers before your order the wrong size.

Thanks Abel, I've never had to touch a front sight. I figured that was my only option, but wasn't sure how easy it would be to get my new sight.
Thanks again.

It's very easy. But it's best to use a poly dowel to remove your old sight and to install the new one. Oriented from the back, you drift the sight from left to right to remove, and right to left to install. Minor filing may be required. It may be worthwhile to let a gunsmith install. I am not handy at all with tools and I found this project easy, but at least a 3.5 on the frustration scale. But I have no vise, and was using the plastic handle-side of a Phillips head screwdriver as my poly dowel. It worked, and I didn't mar up the barrel, but there are better ways to skin the cat.

Yes........

I bought a Williams Fire Sight, which came with a Fiber Optic front sight.
Had to change out the original front sight and install the new one.

Sighted in............no problems.

Is it an xs sight? They have a taller front sight, you have to call them to get one...
