Hello banditt007, You are right in completly ignoring the rear sight..but when you say you are trying to center front sight in appature, that is no-no. The human eye automaticly seeks the brightest point of light, with no help from us, and with the appature sight, that is the very center. Just place front where you want bullet to hit. That said, with a post, you might want to try some of Mountain Plains targets sold by Sinclair int. Sinclairint.com, they are a light blue on white background, and come in different shapes & sizes. I well know your problem of getting a sight picture with irons, I have an 1895 Winchester-Lee
.236 (6mm) straight-pull sporter. The sights are brl. mounted buckhorn rear, with stepped elevator & German silver front blade. I have been using black aiming point, made out of squares of construction paper, turned sideways for a diamond shape. I place front blade on bottom tip of diamond. Best of luck!
