I received a 1969 combo gun from a relative who was considering destroying it -- it was rusted shut and the stock was pretty beat up, although the barrel and bluing looked good. I accepted it as a project gun, and was able to strip it down, clean it up, reassemble and it looks shootable. Then I refinished the stock, and determined that I could not use the sights with my old eyes... so I found this article , and since I happened to have an "SeeAll" sight, I got to work. Here is where I am...    Next step - off to the range to sight it in! 4/4/17: update -- sighted it in at 50 yards, groups within 3 inches. |

What kind of sight is that?. I just bought a 24s-e yesterday and there is no rear sight.

Ok thank you. I didn't realize that was the name. Is it worth the price?

Well I like it so far... here are the features I like: passive device - no batteries, easy to use with both eyes open, easy to sight in. I wanted to be able to use the shotgun by pointing, so I needed a sight that I could use but not distract for a swinging shot. It had to accurate enough for accuracy with the 22 barrel within 50 yards too. I think you could use a red-dot sight on the mounts I used as well, which would work well for the 22, but not as much for moving shotgun targets. A low power scope would also suffer for shotgun use. So for me, using the gun as a "walk about gun" during squirrel and for rabbits, or pests at any season, with this sight works. But each to his own... if I could see them, I would have settled for the existing iron sights.

Thank you. Very informative. Might have to save my penny's again and invest in something good rather than settling for something that just works.
