Is anyone making a backup aperture or ghost ring rear sight that'll fit on a rear Leupold base? Thanks! Good hunting, Andy ----------------------------- Thomas Jefferson: “To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” | ||

Andy Once upon a time Leupold offered a base with a built in folding peep. I have had a coule of them over the years. They were adjustable for elevation. I assume that it was discontinued when most new rifles in the USA started to be made with out sights, thus no front sight for the peep. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I use the early Redfield folding peep that attaches to the rear of the rear base; it's adjustable for both windage and elevation. Regards, Joe __________________________ You can lead a human to logic but you can't make him think. NRA Life since 1976. God bless America! | |||

Joe, I've seen the Redfield folding peeps attached to gun specific bases, did they make a universal one that fit their regular bases? | |||

I wonder if Talley would custom fit one of their peeps to a Kimber (Leupold type) rear base? Anybody know? Anybody used one?

The old base I had with the peep on it required a much taller front sight than the standard height...... "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||

Rob, I use sights that I cannibalize from old Redfield bases. It requires 2 D&T'ed holes in the rear of the base, 2-56 or 3-56 (CRS!) and I recall breaking a few taps until I learned to control my ham-fisted brute-force approach (G).

Exchanged e-mails with Brockman. He said it could be done with the Kimber. A little custom fitting. I've got a .458 Lott Caprivi that I want done. | |||

I sent an email to Talley. If they can't/won't do it, then I'll contact Brockman. Thanks, y'all! Good hunting, Andy ----------------------------- Thomas Jefferson: “To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” | |||

I put a pretty big aperture on a Williams base part way down the barrel where the open sight use to be, works pretty well. TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||
