As the thread title suggests, has anyone had experience with mounting an express/leaf sight on the rear receiver ring? A bit like the Brno integral peep sight but obviously a leaf and most likely mounted to a scope base of some type.
All the benefits of an express sight but with the longer sight radii from being mounted at the rear.
Don't quite know why I am asking as the way my right eye is going open sights will be a waste of time lol.
I do realise unless permanently fixed it would have to be removable to fit a scope but that isn't exactly an unheard-of event either.
 
The V type express sight is out on the barrel for a reason... Far enough away that your eye can (mostly) focus on the notch and the front sight blade/bead. For a receiver sight the aperture type is far superior and easier, because the eyes need focus only on the front sight.
 
No no you need to sell or swap that Express sight to a fella fixing up Old BSA Lee Speed Sporters, its just the right thing to do :)

But yes only really mounted on the barrel, now a nice Diopter, Aperture or Peep Sight is very good on the receiver, more so as eyes go a bit ?,
 
NECG. "Anyting yoo want!" lol
 
Haha @Sarg know what you are talking about but in this case it was one of my growing list if p14 sporters and not using the sight you are referring to.
More like an adjustable almost flat leaf right at the rear.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
