Pistol sights on scope rings (guess I 'll try here)

[kBob]

Having posted this in the correct area with no responses, but 142 other views, I now ask my question here on "rifles"

Hopefully the mods will allow it to stay as I originally posted it where "it should have been" without results. It certainly applies to rifles.

Many-many years ago Millet offered a set of one inch rings that featured a set of their rear pistol sights fully adjustable for windage and elevation. The Front ring had a tall blade front sight.

Now these were high enough to clear the elevation turret and the front bell of a not to huge scope, but of course offered only thee to five inches of sight radius at best.

I was just looking at my old sightless Savage 110 and it occurred to me that such a set up might be more useful at more than 20 yards and inside 150 yards than pointing or wishful thinking and clean living should there be a scope problem.

Anyone make anything like that these days?

I've seen what you're talking about, but not in anything modern production. I think it's cool as all get up, and a company should do it. Trijicon puts a set of irons on the tops of some ACOGs, and those optics are wildly successful. The more common and modern version of the idea is to mount a red dot sight either on your scope or offset on your receiver rail. You could get an affordable micro dot and a mount that wraps around your scope.

Haven't seen those in years.
