We have discussed basic sights and peep sights and the problem of OLD EYES in several threads. In my case I can see long distance targets perfectly but can not focus on the front sight tip to get consistent center target hits. Well today I found a perfect solution for myself at a local gun shop and maybe some of you can use the same - it is called a TUFFORCE 1x30 RED/GREEN DOT Sight. There is no magnification so when you look out with two open eyes everything is on the same focal plane. I like this one better than a lot of the red dot sights for several reasons - It is flatter and more compact, has RED or GREEN dot selection in 5 magnifications each and it is a very easy and clear to see the T Dot. The picture below shows the sight mounted on my 1894CSS .357 with a sample of the red dot on the left. It is a 30mm aluminum tube and comes with the rings for under $50. They also make one that includes the flip open caps. I personally do not use those since I only target shoot and don't have to worry about the outdoors stuff that you hunters do.
