Those of you that have one, can you tell me the heigth of the front sight on the new 454's & the 480's? Any problems getting zeroed with heavy bullets? What do they measure? Thanks,
Dick

Dick,
Robb aka ncrobb said in another thread that his 480 Bisley sight measured .350" tall. i'm not sure if the height on both calibers are the same but I should get my 454 tomorrow and will measure it for you if no one else provides you with what you need.
Zane.

Yep, .350" tall from the top to the flat that sits on top of the base and .120" wide. Oh, on a .480 like Zane said.

Thanks for the replies, we will be making some post style front sights & want to make sure they are tall enough for the heavy slugs. Probably go .370" tall & these will be .100" wide. I like a narrow front sight as most of you know. I'll have some next week. Haven't got my gun yet.
