For those interested-

This is the Kelley Soule Silhouette Sight (Mid Range) and the Kelley Globe Front Sight mounted on my Uberti Centennial '76 (45-60).  My opine... I think it looks good, but what I like most... it is very accurate and she does not "wobble" when indexed.  You get elevation and windage adjustment very easy... 27 minutes each side of zero for windage and this sight will perform the same as the Long Range Soule Sight... but I do not think that a 45-60 would be very effective beyond 300 yards.... someday before my eyesight goes completely... I may check it out and just see how far I can shoot with her. Hope you folks like the sight as far as looks as much as I do.

That's a mighty fine lookin rig you got there TH. How do ya keep your gun lookin like it just came outa the box. I guess this old dusty desert country is rougher on a finish. Kinda like rubbin compound on the finish every day. Like I said mighty fine.....Dusty

Live in Tennesse, The wood stock and forearm has a lot of Johnson Paste Wax on it...LOL  we are not blessed with sand here... but we do have a lot of mold and wetness this time of the year.  But I also take pains with all of my firearms... Thank you for the compliment.

Very nice set up. Which base did you use for the rear sight?

Tom,
Great looking sight. I was wondering if you could give me the part number and info on that Kelly sight? After repeated attempts thru e-mail to Jim Kelly and phone calls to Buffalo arms, I haven't got an answer. I'm not shelling out $500 on a guess just to see if it works. Buffalo arms needs to get edu ma cated on what they sell.
Thanks a bunch.
