Thanks everyone. The construction guys cleared out for the day. I put the Tech Sight on it and chronographed it with 8.44 JSBs at 11.2 fpe. Extreme spread under ten on ten shots. David Slade did a good job on this. I'll probably put it away cocked to see if it softens up.
It took a bit to get it on paper. The site was sunk to the bottom and it was still shooting low where it's at now. I don't want it up so high so I'll see if the fiber optic sight is lower and zeros properly. If that don't work, there's always the Weihrauchs cheapo fixed front sight. That one I know is shorter.

Not to hijack your thread but I replaced the rear sight on a Ruger rifle (Series 195-xxxxxxxxx) that will not be mentioned here with the Tech Sight.
Wow what a difference.
When I put the sight one I lowered it to it’s lowest point and filed off the front sight to zero the rifle dead-on at 25 yards.
Everyone who shoots the rifle is impressed.

Cool! I love these Tech sights. Much better than standard irons or buckhorns. There's a reason why most infantry rifles came with similar simple peep sights. The 0.062" diopter is the perfect size for me. I used to use the Williams but the 0.050" was too small in dim conditions and the 0.094" not sharp enough for my eyes.
I put a simple skinner peep on my deer rifle and its much more accurate than the fiber optic buck horns that came on the gun.

An option for the Tech Sight is this aperture set with an alternate post, which accepts one of three small snap-in flexible disks with different opening sizes. As you can see, I needn't have bothered as I ended up using the the same 0.062" as the out-of-the-box post!
But the smaller or larger one might prove useful for different guns, mounting positions, lighting conditions, or sets of eyeballs. FWIW, the 0.042" opening is about what's used in most dedicated 10-meter diopter eye disks.

Cool. Thanks for the picture. I knew they existed but I've never needed anything but 0.062" so I never looked further into it.
Be well
Mike.
Hey feel like dragging my R1 to the NC show? When is that? It's coming up?

Here's the llnk to Tony McDaniel's show in Hickory, NC - just two weeks away - October 10 / 11! Would be great if you could make it (and the rest of you guys, too, LOL).

It's a great show! Lots of vendors; emphasis more on vintage stuff but always a few new-gun vendors, too. Tony is a great host - very relaxed atmosphere, bunch of door prizes, and a most friendly crowd. The venue is on the fairgrounds with a huge field out one end of the building, making it the only show I know of where you can shoot prospective purchases to your heart's content. It's a two-day show too - opens to the public Friday AM and ends Saturday PM.
