I do'nt know, I like this forend better, it looks more dynamic, IMO.... But the rear sigth is still out of place... Bent Fossdal Reiso 5685 Uggdal Norway | |||

1 Shot, I opened the original aperture slightly to create more of a 'ghost ring' effect. It is .150". The aperture came stepped. Meaning that it is larger towards the muzzle (.175"). A good design to get a crisp circle. | |||

Bent, I agree but would point out that the rifle in question is a German counterpart . That rifle was made circa 1932 by August Heym in Suhl, Germany. The Heym fits me like it was made for me and there is a Lyman 48 in the trapdoor but with a filler in the sight base. | |||

I was taught the 1/2 the barrel length minus 1" and made a few stocks like that but, no more. On sporters that is simply tooo much wood and at some point it will over power the barrel and cause accuracy problems. That's one of the reasons everyone free floats their barrels. It's a bad 'rule'. | |||

Right on. My 67 year old eyes need the rear sight quite far forward. I can use a ghost ring that is closer because I don't have to focus on it, but "V" sights need to be about half way down the barrel to be at all useful. The stock wood on the rifle that started the thread is awesome. Fitch | |||

Rules! We don't need any rules. Both rifles and information on the maker will be in an upcoming issue of PS. | |||

The Smithson rifle at the beginning of the post is a beautifully put together rifle. Congrats to the owner. MMP | |||

A problem with cocking piece sights like the Lyman 103 or the Parker Hale on Tiggertate's .375 is that they can put your eye out if you crawl the stock too much in prone or sitting position or are shooting uphill. Also the LOP makes a difference. | |||

Only if I flip it to full auto "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Talking about peep sights. Another option on Joe Smithson rifles is a machined peep sight that slides into the rear scope base on his QR scope mount. He had one at SCI this past year, and I believe the removable peep sight was secreted under the pistol grip cover. Gave options of fixed, peep. or scope sighting system on same rifle. Was a beautiful metal to metal machine fit. | |||
