Is this legal for competition?

I was wondering if this is legal in competition where iron sights or peep sights are to be used such as silhouette shooting or any type where scopes are not allowed? Please see link below.

Yes.
Sights with corrective lenses are quite common in "conventional" (bullseye) rifle shooting.
You may have a lens in the front sight or in the rear sight, but not both.

You can't use a big adjustable gadget like that in a Service Rifle, but you can have a lens that fits inside the rear sight hood.

Best to read the rules to see if they are allowed in the match you want to shoot.

Thanks. I have never competed but at our local club there is talk about a 22lr silhouette shoot out, so I might try it.

For smallbore and bigbore silhouette, most people are using scopes.

Medium to high power Leupold scopes are the norm.
