	Hi All: I am looking to buy a vernier tang sight with windage to fit my Winchester Hi Wall. I have one now but it has no provisions for windage. Also looking for the same type of sight for my Winchester 92 Where could I look to purchase these sights? Tia, Zeke

	I have recently bought a few Browning BPCR L/R vernier tang sights as They have been sold off at bargain prices . $100 US for rear tang . They fit 1885 and Win lever models (except 1886) Perhaps the maker in US (AMT) is discontinuing ? New Marbles and Lyman tangs are very wobbly Phil

Here's their link: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Dave MVA is n excellent sight, as are Hoke, Kelley, Baldwin (which works backwards) and Shaver. Depending on your budget, the Shaver economy is just his 'better' sight that is poorly (by comparison) finished. I used one for a couple of years with no problems. before switching to Hoke. You can purchase them from Buffalo Arms, Shiloh Sharps, Lee Shaver, Kermit Hoke, Steve Baldwin, or Kelley Sights, amongst others. Just google any of them. Not cheap, but all are excellent sights and made here at home. Forgot to mention that you can purchase a sight-base for each rifle and one staff and move back and forth between the two rifles. A second sight base is a whole bunch less than two complete sights.

	I have a few Shaver tang sights and the economy model does not have the angle adjustment that the ' Super' has . and the Super comes with the indexing multi choice aperture diameters (Hadley Eye-cup ), and has a rubber rim To save on Glasses getting scratched in recoil. I think I would only get the Super from now on for these added benefits Phil

	I've got a number of different brands on my rifles. MVA is what I like best. Last year I replaced a deluxe Shaver with an MVA as the windage marks were not readable on the base of the sight. It was reasonably good otherwise. You'll never regret buying an MVA though. Chris.
