I recently purchased the 45:90 mentioned above.  It has a form of some type of buck horn sight.  It appears to be non adjustable to me.  Id like to take advantage of  the rifle at longer ranges (3-600 yds )using a tang type sight. This would be for hunting and target shooting in adverse and snowy conditions.  I would like to obtain the best sight available. Any advise would be appreciated

Best would be MVA, Baldwin, or Kelley. All make excellent tang sights.

I would add Holk to the list.  Holk's use an adjustable gibb to ensure there is no slack in the sight.

I think you mean Hoke? Kermit Hoke makes great sights. So does Ron Heilman.

Yes, I meant Hoke.  BTW Kermit's son Timothy is now making the sights and running the business.
