Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 It's not the first picture, that's a receiver- mounted which isn't legal. Scroll down where it starts the barrel mounted peep sights. Skinner sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would also like to know as that looks far nicer on the gun than the ones back behind the hammer do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 RIFLE • Tang mounted rear sights may utilize changeable “peep” apertures and eyecups. • No bolt or receiver mounted sight is permitted. • Dovetails may be milled in the barrel for sight replacement. • Beech style front sights and sight hoods are allowed. • Front sights may include a bead or insert of steel, iron, ivory, faux ivory, brass, gold, pewter, copper, or silver. The bead or insert shall be the color of the material. • Rear sights may utilize an insert of the same color as the rear sight to allow easy sight adjustment. • Ramp style front sights are allowed if original to the firearm. • Modern style click adjustable barrel or receiver sights are not allowed. I would say they are not legal. To me the first line above seems to indicate that peep sights are only allowed when mounted on the tang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 What's more, a peep is pert near worthless fer anything but benchrested shooting when so far from the eye. The tang peep works because it is close enough to cause the eye to dilate (Diopter efect), and to self-center the sight. None of that works when a sight is 6+ inches away.

Buckwheat Jack Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Would this sight mounting be legal for single shot long range rifle? http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll315/grandpap7/4570rearsight.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
