I have a Winchester Model 94 lever action rifle. It is shooting 3" to the right. Is there a way to adjust for windage on the rear fixed sight?

Thanks,

BDC

NO, its an 1894 buy a scope.

The rear and front sights are dovetailed in. Use a brass punch or drift and a hammer to move the rear sight to the left a hair, or move the front sight to the right.

Ok...thanks.

B.S.!! You need to use a brass drift, and move your rear sight to the left (as viewed from the rear) OR move your front sight to the right! Better yet, put a nice micrometer sight on the receiver, like a Williams Fool-proof, and take the open rear sight completely off. With a micrometer on the rear, you can easily adjust it very precisely!

That's a good idea...thanks. I am going to try the punch and hammer first. I did find a manual for the gun online and it said the same thing.

Bucketmouth, I am not sure what you meant by your reply but I think you are wrong.

Thanks again.

I agree... Gently tap the rear sight in the opposite direction for windage, and you'll be fine.

...A Winchester 94 (with a scope - as suggested)?!?!? No, man, no... Certain things just don't get scoped, it's considered sacriledge!

They're right on how to adjust your windage.

Also no scopes on my 94's!!

Here's an old adage to remember: As you do to the rear sight, so you do to the bullet point of impact. Works for right or left, up or down changes. Exactly the opposite is true for the front sight.
