Just to try something a bit different, I'm going to put one of these Recknagel rear sight blades on a 9,3x62 that is being fixed up.



Have any of you guys tried this sight? I believe Echols often uses them?

The front sight (actually made in SS) will be identical to Recknagels "Masterpiece" banded front sight. So I can switch blades with the ones supplied by Recknagel. These come in a variety of hights, shapes and colors. I'm thinking of using a 2.5mm white bead.




The rear sight is far from traditional, but as this will be a gun I'll use as a dog handler, function matters more than fashion. I'm thinking that the open sides will let me see more of the animal when close up in dark forest situations if needed.

Erik you will find skeleton rear VERY serviceable specially when taking a shot on game running away, where you had to cover the target or even lead it - more so when standing above the animal. I would give a white bead a second thought tho - picking it out in snowy conditions might be difficult - just a thought.
