Some time ago, I had several e-maiols and messages abotu where to find an express sight similar to the one on my 14 bore rifle. At the time, I was only able to note that I had purchased my Express sight from Brownells.

Here's another supplier. While not exactly the same as mine, a couple of them are quite suitable - and MUCH less expensive. Mine was $96.00 in 1986. Since that time, I've removed the standing sight, leaving the 3 leaves. When all are folded, close range pint blank sighting is taken over the sight 'base', with the low bead front sight's base level with the top. It is very fast and accurate enough for centre hits to abotu 50 yards. After that, I've not filed the leaves in for 100, 150 and 200 yards, since I no longer need the 300 meter leaf for long range shooting at our local range (shortened to 200 meters).

I hope this url is helpful to those wishing a better sighting system. Express sights are best used with a low mounted bead. Be aware, you will need to file your own leaf sights and standing (point blank) sight for your load at the desired ranges.

Thanks.

I wonder if any of those express sights could be fitted to my Tikka/Valmet barrels to replace the ridiculously weak single flip up rear sighte?

Might be worth a try.
