Gallery of Guns TV 2018 Poole's Perspective - Buckhorn Sight Alignment
This segment from Poole's Perspective on Gallery of Guns TV focuses on understanding and adjusting the Buckhorn rear sight on a Winchester 1886 rifle chambered in .45-70. The instructor emphasizes that while the sight is adjustable for windage via its dovetail, the primary adjustment for elevation is made by moving the ramp up or down the sight's ladder. He advises shooters to determine the actual range each notch on the ladder represents through live-fire testing to maximize the rifle's accuracy potential at various distances.
