Material Blued Steel Brass Stainless Steel Dovetail Size .375 (Most Rifles) .390 (Rossi) Popup link text Close Quantity Decrease quantity for "BARREL MOUNT" Peep Sight Increase quantity for "BARREL MOUNT" Peep Sight Add to cart Description This sight is becoming one of our most popular selling sights due to the fact it can be mounted on almost any rifle with a dovetail cut in the barrel. The Barrel Mounted Dovetail sight looks great on modern and antique rifles alike. For example, this sight is "amazing" on the Ruger 10/22. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN APERTURE THAT "LOOKS RIGHT" ON ALMOST ANY RIFLE AND MOUNTS WITHOUT DRILLING AND TAPPING OR OTHER ALTERATIONS? THIS SIGHT LOOKS AND WORKS GREAT ON WINCHESTER 94, 92, 86 AND ALMOST ANY OTHER WINCHESTER WITH A BARREL DOVETAILED FOR A REAR SIGHT. The barrel mount is .400" from bottom of dovetail to center of Aperture at the lowest setting. Aperture center is approx. .300" above the top of the barrel. If this measurement is close to the height of your current "notch" sight, then the barrel mount will most likely work with your factory front sight. THIS SIGHT SHIPS WITH A .125" (Large) APERTURE INSTALLED. Accepts any of our 5 aperture sizes. We find the .125" is the smallest to be practical. Bigger works wonderfully for quick target acquisition. The dovetail mounted sight is designed to replace the factory barrel mounted sight on any rifle with a .375 (most rifles) or .390 (Rossi) inch dovetail. This works with most factory front sights and provides both windage and elevation adjustments. The removable .125" aperture can be removed and the sight then becomes a .200” ghost ring. Other apertures are available on our Accessories page. The sight is 1 7/8” long and is secured in the dovetail with a set screw. "It's always best to get the peep as close to the eye as we can. Some rifles do not have any good option for doing so. What I've found is that this sight works better than a notch or buckhorn and affords the same advantages as our other peep sights. Remember: Look through the hole, never at it. Do not try to line up the front sight inside the hole, your eye will do that for you. All focus on the front sight, its alignment on the target, trigger squeeze and follow through. It works!!!" Andy Barrel Mount Sight Installation Instructions The dovetail may be a few thousandths larger than the slot it should fit. If you cannot start the sight by pushing it into the slot it may be necessary to use a small triangular file (available in Accessories) to remove a small amount of metal before the sight will fit. Gently radius the corner of the dovetail to match the radius on the corner of the dovetail slot as a first step. When you file, only file on one of the sloped surfaces. Do not remove metal from the bottom of the dovetail. Use a brass punch (available in Accessories) or hardwood dowel drive the sight to the center of the barrel. Tighten the set screw which will secure the sight on the barrel. Adjusting the Sight The peep is adjusted for elevation by turning it on its threaded shaft. It is secured by a set screw on the left side of the sight. The aperture can be removed and turned in from either side of the peep. Windage is adjusted by moving the sight in its dovetail slot.
