Sights on a O/U DR - advice???
#55673 - 25/04/06 12:02 PM

I just bought a 9.3 x 74R Merkel O/U DR. It was made in '77 and it's all original and mint. I think it's had less than a half dozen rounds through it. Bascially, it's 30 years old and brand new.

The only thing I don't like about it is the sights. The iron sights on the gun are small and tough for my eyes to pick up.

I'm thinking about having about a 1/4 cast off bent into the stock so that the gun points like a shotgun. I also want to improve the sights so they are fast and easy to use.

Does anyone out there have some advice on what I can do? Should I have a new set of sights made for the gun?

BTW: I won't scope it.

Thanks

OWD

OWD,
Much depends on how good your eyes are.
Firstly though I would suggest getting the gun to fit you perfectly for snap shooting.
