Since I got my new 12" Scope I believe I have been able to see Sirius B twice. On both occasions it was not particularly easy, but to be honest I was expecting it to be more challenging than what it was. I think the increasing separation between the 2 stars in recent years is helping a lot with visibility.
Ken if you try just after sunset you should be able to see it.
Anyway here is a sketch of roughly what I saw on Feb 4, 2011, at 375x.
