I just saw a finger adjustable (elevation)rear sight on a Contender, I believe from T/C. Has anyone used one, and if so, are they any good? Thanks-

I did not find them very repeatable at all & replaced them with Bo-Mar sights years ago.

I have to "ditto" Steve's remarks - my brother Charlie and I tried them - and both of ours were JUNK ! But, I also know several people who had good luck with them.

The current factory supplied sight is better in terms of repeatability than the "Silhouette" sight which as Philip and Steve said is, in my opinion, junk.

If you can luck up and find a Bomar, that would be the best.

I agree that Bomars are the Cadillac of sights, but did they ever make a sight that was finger adjustable, and didnt require a screwdriver?

If they did, I have not ever seen them at a silhouette match; so, I'm going to say no.
