Hoke sights still available?

I'm looking for a Soule LR or MR sight for my newly acquired  '75 C. Sharps .40-60 Maynard. I have a Browning BPCR with sights but the base doesn't match up with the tang holes and the staff doesn't fit the borrowed Sharps base. I like the Browning windage scale as the marks are not too fine for my 70 year old eyes. I noticed that the Hoke LR windage is comparable and has a big screw on the right. I got Mr. Hoke's tx from a website and his vm confirmed that it apparently is a good tx. Question is, is he not making sights anymore? I'd hate to pass up a Red River sight waiting for a reply. Thank you.

Hoke is still advertising in the "Single Shot Exchange" magazine so I guess he's still  in business.
The number listed is(717) 848-4276  email kshoke@concast.net  Hope this helps.
Mike.

As I understand it, Kermit has retired and his son is taking over the business.

Indeed, Kermit's son Tim is taking over the business. This morning Tim replied to the vm I left with his father.  We discussed the sights made and my needs. We will be doing business in the near future!  Thank you, Tom

Kermit has a monthly ad in the Single Shot Exchange advertising sights.  Give him a call

Got my midrange sight yesterday. Beautiful! I told Tim Hoke my problem (can't see) and he found one that had a little wider staff. I may have to order a base to fit my Brng BPCR and use this for both rifles.  Thanks, Tim!

Had a small problem with my Hoke sight and Tim told me, "lifetime warranty, send it in". Totally rebuilt and at least as good as new, including a new eye-cup that I had pranged. In addition, new mounting screws. And, only took 10days as the Shippensburg match was coming up. Terrific service.

Not only has Tim taken over the sight business from his father, he has also taken over as the match director for the Shippensburg FGA monthly BPCR matches, which is much appreciated by us shooters. Thank you.
