Hey Guys
I am shooting a 45-90 rifle and the recoil is moving the Riflesmith tang sight foreward.  I have to pull it back into place after each shot. Is there something I can do to prevent this?
Thanks

Thickside,

Like Fallingblock said, the sight is made to move under recoil.  It becomes part of your routine to reset it each time before you take your shot.  Shoot, extract empty, blow tube, place shell in chamber, close action, reset sight, put the rifle on target and fire again.

I shoot a 45-90 and riflesmith sight also.  Mines a long range 6A transition with windage on a rolling block.  I'm odd; I prefer it to a soule type.  I've liked it well enough to buy 5 more after my first one.

thickside,
The very first time I fired my .45-90 I wasn't quite ready for the recoil that I got.  Because I wasn't braced very hard, the rifle moved rearward far enough for the tang sight aperture to collide with my eyebrow.

No injury as the sight pivoted forward, but it made me notice.
I readjusted my ball cap so that when the rifle jumped, the staff hit the brim.

The advantage of the cap brim is that it knocks the sight so far forward you can't get a good picture without pulling it back up.  You just can't 'forget'.
