Another newbie question

N320/Bullseye/Unique etc....... however, you may find that the 30" twist of the Rossi is better-suited to the 125gr projectiles. At least, that's what I found with mine!

Is it really a 1:30?! Will measure mine later, shoots ok with 158s for me but I’m not that great a shot with irons

im struggling with irons to and glasses with glasses on see the sight blurred target no glasses vice versa been looking for a scope mount for mine but read a lot of horror story's about import tax etc turning a $40 mount into a £ 100 plus .


don't fancy spending loads on drilling and tapping on what is a cheap fun cowboy assault rifle

I doubt anyone has eyes good enough to keep the front and rear sight and target all in focus at the same time

Yes...… mine is, and it shot OK with 158s too. Just a bit better with the 125s though. Older Rossis may have had a tighter twist?

Will measure mine when I get 5, it’s an older octagonal barrel, shoots the 125s and 158s equally well (or badly) for me! Still, it’s conditioned for AOLQ and I picked up potential medal muntjac buck with it a couple of weeks ago so it shoots ok!

Look through a pinhole. Everything goes into focus at the same time.

unless the OP has changed the original sights to a diopter, he will still struggle.
True there are kits to stick an aperture to glasses, but that wasn't the question, with normal iron sights it isn't expected for you to be able to keep the rear,front and target all in focus together, so learning how to use them is a necessary skil to learn.

I've found that a cheap pair of reading glasses, bought from Aldi have been a real help. They come in several strengths, and I bought the ones that weren't strong enough for me to read with. For me that was +1 strength. They were just strong enough to sharpen up the front sight, but not so strong that the target became a blur.
I've used these glasses now out to 200m with my .303. Before that I was seriously considering selling it because after 2 or 3 shots I'd lose the ability to see the foresight.
