Col Del Rio Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I just picked up a Browning 1885 in 45-70. I'd like to replace the factory sights with something better/more traditional. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If you're talking about Vernier sights look at Lee Shaver or Montana Vintage Arms and a globe front sight. https://stores.leeshavergunsmithing.com/economy-soule-type-sights/ https://montanavintagearms.com/sights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Buffalo Arms has a lot of traditional long range sights. I had one of those rifles with the Soule sights but I didn't shoot it much. https://www.buffaloarms.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totes Magoats Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I put MVA's on my Browning BPCR '85. Fantastic sights. They seem to be the gold standard. Totes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 MVA sights are excellent. I have them on one rifle. 2 other rifles have Kelley sights. Also excellent and very nice looking. Color case hardened staff, brass knobs. https://www.buffaloarms.com/long-range-kelley-soule-sights-akelsoulelr.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Crimes Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I have a Shaver on my Pedersoli 1885 and shoot it out to 300 just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 OP, what will you use this rifle for? Hunting? Target shooting(what distance)? OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
