Thanks DocRock, right you are. Thought I had maple but the stock is birch; it is sweet.
Recommendations on a peep sight for this gun? Considerations:
- historical is okay
- modern repro is okay
- something that works, it will be used
- fits onto the standard gun as is, without d&t
Will I need to replace the front hooded sight, or does it depend on what model diopter is used? Are rear / front sets common?
Put half a box down the pipe this week, what a smooth shooter, love it! A windy day, gusts were at 25 mph but I was able to hold and get close. My understanding is with standard ladder sight set on the lowest setting, 300, it shoots 11" high at 100 yards... would love a system that brings that down quite a bit, like to 2".
P.S. From 2013, here is a great comment, cut and paste, from Float Pilot:
"The BUSK diopter which I have only seen one or two....
The MG Anderesson diopter, which I never never seen even one.
The Elit sight, which is very common
The Faldt rear sight,,,, Saw one once...
The GF Diopter rear sight... These were made by the Military armory I won a few.
The Hauges rear sight from Norway.
The Hellqvist which looks like R2D2
The Halsikte Hooka rear sight which looks alot like the BUSK sight.
The Lyman number 48 rear sight.
The Pramm Rear sight, I have seen lots of these.
and the Soderin rear sight. There are Lot and Lots of these...."
