Rear Sight

Shot my first CLA match, had a great time!
I have a Win 94 with a 26' barrel, and the sights worked well with my mature eyes. But the rear sight, a Williams, concerns me. From shooting NRA High Power, a repeatable rear sight is a must. The Williams, performed great, but feels mushy. I am concerned over the long haul, with lots of adjusting, it will loose it's repeatability.
Any experience with them, or suggestions?

Thanks
chuck

Chuck, I have been using Williams FP TK's on all my guns since I started Cowboy silhouette back in 2004. I have never had any problems with repeatability. The only problem I ever had with one was I stripped the threads on the base where the elevator locks. Al Foust

Clamp a dial indicator on the action. Indicate on top of the sights bar and run it up and down. Either gain confidence in the sight or find a reason it should be replaced. Either one worth the effort.

if your clicks feel mushy maybe you should tighten the little lock screw a bit.I tighten them all the way in then back out 1/16 of a turn or so.I then put a drop of finger nail polish on the screw and sight body.
