Paul, the problem is that the sights on this Buckmark (the 5.5 target is different than all the other Buckmarks) just don't work with my eyes. I have no problem sighting my other iron sights and in fact prefer iron (especially the ghost rings on the Mini14). But these just give me fits.
This is another way to go - holographic. It looks a bit less obtrusive on a pistol (not mine)
When I'm out at the desert I've actually been trying to shoot beyond 100m with the .22. Without much luck, but practice, practice, practice...
