1) It's just too big (on top of this little rifle, it just sez, "wrong". And, the 40mm doesn't facilitate easy bolt action.
2) Parallax is wrong. It's set at 100 yds. That's fine for a varmint shooter or a paper puncher, but not for a squirrel hunter. I've had trouble getting quickly on target with it. Just doesn't feel right.
Moewadle, you read my mind.think about putting an aperture sight, receiver sight or tang sight, on the rifle.
Maybe I'd better clarify that a bit.me said:...who wants to suggest how I could put an aperture (especially) on this puppy with a nice tritium front sight?
CB900F, good points....the more useable image goes to the Nikon because of the quite superior resolution.
There are several choices here. Lyman makes an assortment of mounts for front sights, and there are lots of choices for sight inserts, including apertures. Some of the Lyman mounts need to be brazed or welded to the barrel. I believe New England Custom Gun also offers a barrel band with an integral front sight base compatible with Lyman and/or Anschultz sights. Since these sights are designed to allow one to swap the front sight insert, I am sure one could have Trijicon build a front sight insert with a tritium insert.... but who wants to suggest how I could put an aperture (especially) on this puppy with a nice tritium front sight?
