Missouri Rifle

Is the rear sight skewed on or is there a dove tale?

I am pretty sure the rear sight for the Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken is dovetailed, but it has a long base and is adjustable,. I've discovered that the CVA Missouri was issued as a "Hunter" model and a "Ranger" model. It appears one had a simple, fixed rear sight dovetailed in place, and the other had an adjustable rear sight that was visually similar to the T/C rear sight. I'm not sure which was which. I believe the "Ranger" version was lighter in weight. These were not in production very long, I understand for just for a few years in the 1990's.

This Missouri Hawken has fiberoptic sights on it,, the seller said that they are the original sights that came with the rifle,does that sound right to you guys?

Are you sure that it’s not the Traditional Hawken Rifle?

The gun is a Pedersoli.
The sights are dovetailed.

Thank You

Really if you get a good shooter, then 300 is a buy. Pretty cheap for a functioning rifle.

Betcha there is someone to coach you on posting pictures or able to do it for you. Congrats on your adoption. Look forward to hopefully see photos of your new to you rifle.

is the dovetail on a Pedersoli rifle metric or standard...

 

[muzzlecap]

I would think being made in Italy it is metric unless it has been altered/modified for other sights. You won't know for sure until you have it in hand.

I will have to buy some new sights for the rifle from Track of the Wolf, I think I'll just put a regular buckhorn sight on it.

@rusty, do wait until the rifle is in your hands and you can measure the existing sights so you can get the parts you need for proper fitting.

Be advised, TOW sights are supplied as cast and require some cleanup.

 

[Grenadier1758]

Not only are Track's parts sold as cast, but so are just about everyone else's builders' parts.

Is that it you just listed for sale?
