Folding Rear Barrel Sight

Post by ninety caliber »

Want to get one for my Rio Grande to use in conjunction with my Tang sight for 25-50 yds. Does anyone make one that will fit the RG dovetail ? Had to remove the stock Buckhorn as it was in the way of the peep.

Your RG should have a standard 3/8" dovetail, so any folder should fit - a Lyman #16, or Marble's longleaf, etc.

Just check the height of your existing rear sight, so it can be matched.

Buffalo Arms has them.
I have one on my 92/44 that has a marble Tang sight.
I have the folding leaf set dead on at 50 yards, and the tang sight adjusted for 100 yards.
The folding leaf has both windage and elevation adjustments for fine tuning. They make the sight With or W/O adjustments.

Well maybe, but my opinion it is: the Best Enabling Gun Site on the Web
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

They make the folding Leaf in different heights, make sure you get the right one to match your front sight height.
