The original 1925 order ledger about my H&H single shot includes the words "Lyman Sight." The tang of my rifle is indeed drilled for such sight--with the holes spaced exactly 1.5" apart, each hole looking pretty shallow and measuring 0.150" across. Approximate height of the sight to match the V sight on the barrel would have been 2."
Unfortunately, though, when I took possession of the rifle a few years ago, the Lyman tang sight had been long gone. I would now like to replace it. Would any of you know which of the Lyman tang sights I should try?
The reason is that I've decided that my safari-after-next (2023) will be an iron-sight safari. My aging eyes would do much better with a Lyman than with the barrel-mounted V.
Any ideas? I know this is a pretty obscure subject, but I thought I'd ask.
