I set some store in what you write Aarond...and I gotta agree, those fiber optic sights have a "mall ninja" look about them...but I'll fess up and say that I've got a Fire Sight on the front end of my Marlin 336 in .44 Magnum...a helofa deer gun in the woods here abouts. What kind of accuracy are you getting with that fiber optic sighted .22?

Just a thought...is it possible to change out that fiber optic sight for a real steel Boughman ramped front sight? Looks like it's pinned in place so maybe a swap out is possible?

MotownStan, sounds like good customer service again, from S&W. I've had two of my revolvers worked over by the factory...and all on their nickle...one of the guns was built in '92...they stand by their guns...
