How much did it cost? Any issues? Re: Cost to gunsmith iron sights on modern hunting rifle? They would be 'manufacturing' an 'accurized' rifle which they added to the list of ITAR-required things that require said payment. In a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich the chicken and cow are involved while the pig is committed.
A few years ago I asked my local gunsmith about putting iron sights on my Weatherby Vanguard. He didn't actually give ma a quote I had the impression it would have been in the couple hundred range , but talked me out of it. He said, if you want an iron-sighted hunting rifle, buy one of the few that still come that way from the factory. If yours is, then that's an easy choice for the rear. Then you just need a front mounted. You have, in effect, reduced the number of focal planes you have to deal with by one-third.
A good ghost-ring sight is small, unobtrusive, and adjusts for elevation and windage. It should also be very tough. Once you sight it in, you do not touch it unless you change ammo. For speed sighting, we turn to our good friends the professional hunters of Africa, who sometimes have to shoot fast or die.
No scopes. One masterful builder of heavy rifles flatly refuses to mount a scope on any of his hard kickers. They break, he says. He once sent me a. When it got to me, the scope was busted. No red dots. No holograms. No peep sights. Over the course of more than a century, PHs have found that the combination that works best for them is a big bead up front and a shallow rear V.
The best material for the big bead is gold or ivory. The traditional open rear sight is a shallow V, and the good ones often have a vertical line of gold or silver inlaid in the steel that runs from the base up to the bottom of the V notch.
The really good ones have a gold triangle that does the same thing. In use, you put the bead on the notch, pull the trigger, and concentrate on not wetting yourself. The reason is that most PHs subject their rifles to a fantastic amount of abuse, some unavoidable and some not, and an unmovable rear sight is about the only thing that holds up. These are a superb waste of money, as dangerous game is almost never shot from beyond yards, and usually much closer, and the useless little leaves have a habit of folding flat whenever they feel like it.
Some shooters prefer having a back-up when the primary ones fail, such as the red dot sight, which offers magnification. Iron sights are now outdated because of the latest optical technologies, but they are more accurate than a scope. The basic rule is to move the sight in a similar direction to move the group.
The ideal distance for your iron sights is 50 yards, meter zero. Use its smaller aperture sight or peep sights. After using the aperture, you have to adjust with the use of the front sight. You aim with the iron sights at the center of mass.
The center of the mass places the sights at the center of your target. The COM holds are commonly used by handguns. Invest in a site post for target precision. The farthest you can shoot using an iron sight is yards. If your shots are under yards, then you will have high accuracy and hit the bullseye, as long as the conditions are favorable. Zeroing a rifle using iron sights is a complex skill to pick-up.
Nonetheless, these make a reliable back-up sight if your main sight fails. Shooters find sighting is easy as long as you lock-in the bead in sight alignment. In a way, you just have to aim and fire at the target and make necessary precision shooting adjustments for hunting.
