Congratulations Mike. They're great guns. I'm 56 and need reading glasses. I can barely use regular open sights under the best conditions. If you have trouble with them get a set of Williams peep sights and you'll feel like your eyes are twenty years younger. They work amazingly for old eyes. I can't explain the science. They just work.My other suggestion is not to lube tune the rifle. Unless you tear the whole thing down, clean out the factory lube, use very little moly and very sticky tar (open gear lube) it will get in front of the seal and burn the Weihrauch seal out in 3 or 4 tins. It seldom works well for long.

These are the ones I have and like. It's the same Kirk recommend but with out the target knobs. I like it because it's a simpler clean looking sight. No eye distractions or something sticking out to break. Besides you still need a screwdriver to unlock and lock the target knobs. If you can use the same screw driver to adjust them, what's the point of having the target knobs? Once you dial in the gun with its favorite pellet you hardly ever adjust them. I've gone years without touching the settings on my Hw30. I don't know that's just me. https://shop.williamsgunsight.com/ecommerce/p/fpairgun-ag-014168
Mine will be here Saturday, I'm setting in my driveway waiting on the brown truck, got the ice chest by my side... Kinda like the first inline at a black Friday sale. I went with .177. HW50 because of the weight and cocking effort. I shot a TX200 for years, but due to health it got to where I couldn't deal with the weight (I don't shoot from a bench). Hopefully my eyes are still good enough that I can use the open sights.The plan is to shoot up all of the .177's I have then lube tune it.

BTW, I have those Williams peep sights on one of my 50S' and a 30S and a R9.
I suggest that you have a new piston seal available when you do the clean/lube in case your seal is burned. This is my new HW95L seal after about 2K shots. AoA 8/20 date.
