    WHY? a set of proper shooting glasses or a correction lens fitted in the sights eyepiece can make a huge difference to the quality of enjoyment. I have a couple of PH sighted rifles and swop an eyepiece between them. My optician charges me about £25 to supply a fitted prescription lens.

    I also have 2 pairs of Knobloch spectacles. 1 for pistol , 1 for rifle. The Varga ones are just as good and they do make a big difference, especially for pistol.

    Thanks for that, didn't know you could do that re eyepiece in PH sights. All my rifles have teles - apart from the early Webleys/Sporter/Diana.
    Usually wear varifocals nowadays.
