Have a rail fitted for red dot but want to have a set of opens in case of battery failure,I have a nice ruger fold down sight I want to fit but the Rossi has a slightly larger dovetail cutout than the ruger one,shims won’t work any other ideas on how to fit the ruger sight?thanks
Tough one huh..
Carry a spare battery?
File up a rhombus section piece of steel to take up the slack in the dovetail

Want to be able to use the open sights when it’s raining as well.what’s a rhombus piece of steel?not a lot in it,one is .390 the other is .370 wide.
Gonna put a bit of devcon on the base and edge of the ruger sight then lightly sand it down and try and get a tight fit into the dovetail,sight it in then more devcon to hold firmly in place,might work,might not but no permanent modification to the gun.
Well that didn’t work,the angle is different on the dovetail from the ruger sight to the Rossi barrel..back to the drawing board.
Try another sort of iron sight? I'm assuming you have the front sight still fitted, so maybe a Lyman or Marbles rear peep sight?
