Hey Guys,

Well I got one off the bucket list! I finally picked up a Winchester 94 (1969)! I went out to the range with her and she loaded and functioned flawlessly, however I am having difficulty with my aim.

No matter how I adjust the rear sight my shot always seems to be 8 -10 inches low at 100 yards. Now never having used a buckhorn rear sight I am not sure if I am using it correctly.

I am setting the top of the front pin even with the top of the two points on the rear sight and then going for center. That seems to work fine for centering the shot however I am not able to change my elevation regardless of which way I move the elevator.

Please refer to photos.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do not wish to mount a scope on this rifle as I purchased it specifically for close quarters hunting of white tails in heavy timber.

In your pic you are missing part of your back sight! Ive seen this before!


An apature(peep) sight just might be the ticket for you. I have never been real good with factory open sights.

Image F is your best bet. Settle the bead into the bottom of your V, or U.

I'd contact Winchester. I had a part shipped direct from Savage last year and it was about a third of the price as Western Gun Parts was going to charge me when you factored in shipping.

I copied this from Winchester's Home Page FAQ's

Can you provide parts/service for the older Winchester firearms, such as the Models '92, '94, '73, 1400, etc?

Unfortunately, we cannot provide parts or service for the older model Winchester rifles and shotguns. We would recommend that you visit the Winchester web site for a list of the service centers that can service the older Winchester firearms.

They go on to list Western Gun Parts as the authorized parts dealer for Canada.

I sent Western a email and they do have the rear sight blade this was their response:


The blade is 14.95 and the screws are 4.95 each plus s/h and tax. Accept Visa and mastercard, cardholder has to call that in to order. Thanks

Western didn't say anything about the screws being separate!
