For your amusement. It´s a modified m16 a2 sight, with combat and precision peep on a brno 602 375 weatherby.

I REALLY like it. Been looking for something like that for awhile...

Haven´t had a chance to try it out yet, just finished it today. The 375 weatherby was inspired by RIP on this forum. I like ghost peeps on rifles that might need to be shot very fast and accurately up close but I also wanted a more precise peep to make long shots and take advantage of the trajectory of the cartridge. I looked around and found nothing better than the tried and true combat sights of the m16.
Glad you liked it.

I think you will find with testing that switching from the "big hole" to the "little hole" will cause a change in elevation AND windage.
You can get an after market peep that has the same elevation zero with both "holes", however the windage change will still be present.

With the large hole set up for 100 yards, the small hole should be set pretty close to 300 yards. That is a great idea.

JohnAir,
I do recall talking to you about the .375 Wby and your wise choice of Dave Manson for reamer with the circa 2001 .375 throat specs.

That does look good if you can get the front sight blade high enough to zero as lawndart says.

I have found that I can fit an NECG Weaver-based peep on the CZ with just minor modifications. Others have used the NECG Ruger-based one as a QD peep on the CZ/BRNO, with minor fitting.

NECG once told me by email that they were possibly coming out with a peep to fit CZ/BRNO integral bases, but that was long ago, and I have not checked on it lately.

I will certainly look around for one of those M-16 peeps too ... with a gold patridge front of sufficient height, that would be sweet.

JohnAir, that's very interesting, and I'm sure it will work and be hell for stout, but man it is ugly as sin. That's the problem with most peeps I've seen--they just ruin the lines of a rifle. Like sticking a John Deere steering wheel in a Maserati.

JohnAir, since I can't post pics, feel free to also post the pic of my .416 Rigby "experiment" that I sent you with the uglier-than-sin "handle" for everyone's amusement. I have a "loaded" (pins, detent, spring, and post) .750 ID AR front sight on its way, just to vacillate a bit more on the issue. Your NEW pics look much better than the "phone-pics."

BTW, John how tall is your front sight or have you been able to use the standard sight??????

NE 450 #2,
I´m on my way to the range after I answer these posts and I will let you know just how much change there was. Thanks.

Lawndart,
I hope you are right. That would work out PERFECT!

RIP,
Thanks again for putting me on to the great 375 Weatherby. I took a NECG front patridge and filed the base to make it fit the BRNO. I have both NECG ruger and Weaver rear peep sights but I really wanted one with dual apertures to take advantage of the long range capability of the cartridge. Hope it works out.
I bought the rear sight from midway and cut off the elevation stem. It was only around $20.

Yeah it sure isn´t a traditional gun. Next step is to put a McMillan cz Express stock on it and make it a real ugly do all working gun!!!

Woods,

N E 450 No2, "IF" there is a change it will be negliable and most likely due to the shooter. The two peeps are the same elevation, the ONLY difference is that the large peep flips rearward about .1" when compared to the small peep when flipped (and visa-versa). Sorry, not trying to argue, but I have an AR (obviously from the pic).

Ditto. Much appreciated.

Well, I guess then you wouldnt have to sling the rifle over yer shoulder like its yer daddy's shotgun. Beergut and broke ass pickup optional equipment...

Next time you go to the range shoot your AR at 100 yards with the "small hole" then on another target shoot at 100 yards with the big hole.
Let us know what happens. Unless you have "same plane" apperatures you should see a difference.
Watcvh the apperaturepivot on the screw as you change from the bitg to the small. the apperatures are revolving on the windage screw inducing a windage change.

Several aftermarket companies make sight blades with the large and small holes at the same elevation, but with the milspec sights the large hole is for shooting at close range (0-200 meters), and the small hole is for longer range work (out to 600 meters, ha, ha.) The smaller hole has greater elevation than the large hole. Purely a function of the sight being designed for a battle rifle (and designed for twenty year old soldiers' young eyes).

Looks like an M1903A3!

you know, they sell the A2 rear sights cut to mount on 1913 rails for AR15 flattops. you could get a 2 piece 1913 and mount that rear sight pretty much on anything you can mount a 1913 rail to. Now that I think about it, I like it. might have to get one when my 470 gets made.

here it is, under $100 too.
