Hunting
Can't see your front sight
Uploaded on November 22, 2009I am one of those people, who doesnt have the money, or really the desire to hunt with a scope on my gun. I use a Marlin 336, 30-30. I have used the same type of sights that have been on there since we got th gun. My father had taken off the front cover for the front sight and they gun sling slipped and fell and chipped the front sight. So we ordered a new one with the cover on it. the sight is really dull. It is difficult to see it when in low light. So either spend $45 dollars on a hi-viz sight, or borrow a lady-friends nail polish put a dab on the front sight and you are ready to roll.

nice idea Ive got a marlin 338a and missed a deer yesterday cause i had that same problem
Nail polish won't hold up very well. Neither does whiteout. I used a tiny dab of flat white primer several years ago and it's still hanging in there in spite of some pretty rough hunting.
A fly tyer's eye bead or a seed bead from the craft store and a drop of epoxy might make your front sight more visible. Just be very accurate in the placement and keep it in place until set.
I used the paint pens for the front sight of my 10/22.
They are made by UNI and come in a pack of 6 different bright colours. We use them to mark alot of things in the Army and they are heck to clean off when you want to. Sticks good to the front sight and areavailable with a smaller tip to get the dot perfect.
I have seen them at Walmart.
