jbremount 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I am just finishing the conversion and about to go shooting. I could not help noticing the short sight radius of the standard sights. Has someone out there tried a peep sight that is mounted close to the eye? It would probably have to be mounted on the receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD_Willington 11 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 There are a few examples on the boards here... best bet is a search or hang in there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbremount 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 This is a picture of what I am considering. Anyone have info where these rear peep sights are found? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 People always say that mounting a scope on the receiver cover is no good, due to the fact that it isn't too sturdy, and won't hold zero that well. So I'm assuming the same would go for a peep site on it. But I'm not 100% on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All depends who reworks the cover on the receiver, for a steady sight on the receiver cover, the cover have to be reworked to be tight and have to movement, no your cheap cover that you see for sale with 2 bolts on the back on it and a rail mounted on top. On the other hand some Saigas come with a cover so tight that will hold steady but they are the exception and sights can be install on them with out worry of movement or rework the cover.

OK, thanks for clearing that up. Like I said, I wasn't 100% sure on that. Here is another option jbremount... http://dpharms.com/beryl-style-scope-mount-p-230.html . It's not actually hooked to the receiver cover, it sits right over it, and can fold upward for removal of the receiver cover to clean. Just slap a rear site of your choice onto the rail, and you're set. Price isn't bad either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
