Any ideas about a rear sight?


Is it a regular dovetail rear sight? Maybe a gunsmith will have one just
laying around that he took off a gun to make room for a scope mount.


Nope..flat based

Brownells?

If you break the sword make a sight out of a piece of it.


Hummmm!

Don't know about a scope, but an aimpoint or a laser sight might be fun.


Problem with those...pellet guns tend to have the trajectory of a pig
jumping over a picket fence..so aming range tends to be short for a
lazer..though there is hold over.

If you try a scope get one made for airguns. The unique jump of a spring
piston gun supposedly does bad things to a conventional rifle scope.
Something to do with how the reticule reset after a shot.

Might be a good idea to check in alt.sport.air-guns and see what those guys
say.


Thanks!!
