Is your Single Six a newer gun with the transfer bar? Single action Rugers, be they Single Sixes, Blackhawks, Super Blackhawks, or Vaqueros, are endowed with some of the worst triggers ever put on a handgun. They have to have a good deal of creep, take up, or whatever you want to call it, in order to lift that transfer bar. If you can manage to shoot one well, you have accomplished something. I keep a couple around as trail guns, for defensive purposes more than hunting - that darn trigger makes longer range work tough.

All of my sixguns simply have issue sights as delivered by the factory. The key to shooting at distances beyond where the gun is zeroed is to hold some front sight up above the rear sight to compensate for the range. This way, you can still place the target on top of the sight, and still use a six o'clock hold on it, and still see the target.
