I'm thinking of putting a Williams 5D reciever sight on my Ted williams 100 (Win.94) and getting rid of the semi-buckhorns that are on there now. Any thoughts pro or con appreciated.
Unless you're like me, and buy a set of dies for the difference in price, develop one load, zero the rifle once and stick with it for the next 45 years.Thought #2 - Spring for the much nicer & click adjustable Williams Foolproof sight.
You betcha aperture sights will help that. In fact, you can get an adjustable eye piece and experiment with it -- you'll find a setting that makes you think your eyes are 16 again.The front blade is focused and the rear sight is a blur. It makes for difficult and slow sight alignment. Will these help that?
I did just that, a few minutes ago from Midway. I went with the 5D partly because of the price difference and because this gun lives on a diet of 150 gr Federal Power Shok ammo sighted in 2" high at 100yds. I doubt I will need the adjustment feature much after sighting in if it holds zero as good as the reviews stated. Thanks for all the input....chasIf you're ordering online, make sure you order the dovetail filler to drift in once you drift out your rear sight.
There's a trick you can use -- saw the dovetail off the original sight and leave it in the slot.The dove tail blank did require some fitting, but looks a lot better than the empty slot.
I'm with rcmodel - I run no aperture at all and use the rear as a ghost ring sight. Inside of 150 yards or so, it's all the sight that I need.Any input on what size apertures work best under certain conditions.
They are there for mounting a receiver sight -- get one that is made for your rifle, and it will simply screw on.1. The upper left side of my receiver has two tiny screws in the area in which the sight gets mounted. Are these threaded holes put there for the purpose of mounting the sight, or do they serve some other purpose?
No. The FP will do fine with your existing front sight.2. Must I change out the hooded front sight when using the Williams FP sight?
