Question For Night Guard Owners

Looks good. What height did you go with? I see Brownells offers 3 choices.

Using the Bowen sight chart, I measuring the stock blade height and got the tallest (.400) one.

I now have the sight elevation set at the exact height I had the factory one at and it looks like I have plenty of +/- elevation so I think I made the right choice.

I just got back from the range and the Bowen sight worked to perfection!

My very first shot was just a couple of inches low and the windage was dead center. I added a couple of clicks of elevation, locked the windage screws in place with blue Loctite, and I was done!

I'm very happy with the new setup and my quest for the right sight combination has come to a successful conclusion.

I can highly recommend the Bowen "Rough Country" adjustable rear sight.

Sweet.

I'll have to add this to my Brownells list of things to order.

"Well King, this case is closed."

Glad you found a solution. I've been looking at the pictures you posted of the Bowen sight and I keep thinking of a 3" 66 I have with a Hi Viz front sight and a V noch rear. The more I shoot it, the less I like the V noch. Maybe it's time to try something new.

This has turned out to be a very good thread...Thanks.

Ahh! Sergeant Preston of the Yukon! One of my favorite shows as a boy!

I know what you mean, Charles. I had a XS tritium 24/7 sight set on my .38 Super Colt Lightweight Commander. Loved the front white dot sight, never cared for the shallow V rear.
