Tech sights 10/22 installation

It has made believers out of student after student in our classrooms. Leighton Pharr Jr — May 8, :. Along with the upgraded sights I also added one of Rugers target triggers at the same time. At 25yds she cuts one ragged hole all day long regardless of load.

Tech-Sights keep up the good work, and come out with some sights for the Henry Rifles!!!! Thank you, Leighton.

Ryan Kennelly — April 22, :. I like classic battle sights. When I saw that you offered different size peep holes, it was easy to make my choice the TSR The install was clean. The solid model drawings in the instructions are clear and make set up a snap. After about 20 shots I had my sight picture perfect. My favorite target is spent shotgun shells standing on end. I was picking them off at 25 yards with little to no effort.

I handed the rifle to my friends and now they are addicted to battles sights. I have no problem getting the rifle to return to zero after repeated takedowns and field strip cleanings. I would recommend this set up to all takedown users. The sights are very easy to adjust for windage and elevation, making zeroing in your new upgrade a breeze.

The only downside to these sights is that they are not compatible with all barrel types. If you have already upgraded your barrel or intend to do so, it is important to make sure these sights will fit properly. Before you decide, it is first important to distinguish between scopes and sights. A scope is an aiming device that attaches to your rifle and uses lenses to magnify your target. Some scopes incorporate both crosshairs and a reticle.

Scopes that have a reticle will be battery-powered, which is why it is important to have a quality set of sights as a fallback. On the other hand, sights are an aiming device that does not magnify your field of view or incorporate lenses of any kind. There are multiple types of sights, but they all utilize the same basic principles of marksmanship.

These sights will assist you in obtaining good sight picture and sight alignment through the use of a front post or bead and some type of rear viewing area. There are two primary types of iron sights; open sights and peephole sights. However, there are several different variations on each of these sight types, allowing you to choose the type of sight and variation best suited for your application.

Regardless of the type of whether the sights are an open or a peephole design, they will have both have a front and rear sight. The front sight may also be a vertical post.

The front sight will never be adjustable for windage but may have an elevation adjustment that will allow you to raise or lower the sight. The rear sight can be a variety of shapes but is generally a half-circle or U shape. An open rear sight will have dots or alignment markings on either side of the viewing window that is meant to help you align the post in the center of the viewing window. Unless your sights are totally fixed, the rear sight will be adjustable for windage.

If your front sight is fixed, your rear sight may also have an elevation adjustment. Peephole sights are generally considered the more accurate variety of iron sights. I have found this to be true in my own shooting experience and much prefer peephole style iron sights. Peephole sights will have a front post and will have a completely enclosed circular rear aperture. The front post will generally be adjustable for elevation and the rear aperture is adjustable for windage.

I find this sight to be more accurate because you are centering the post within the circle and placing the post on your desired target. While this task can be accomplished with open iron sights, it is easier to over or underestimate your elevation, causing rounds to strike higher or lower than intended over greater distances.

Installing your new sights will vary slightly depending on which style you choose. After you have ejected your magazine and ensured your rifle is free from any ammunition, you should secure your barrel in a vice if you have access to one. You then simply use a punch and hammer to move the old front sight out from left to right towards the ejection port.

The rear sight should be removed in the same manner, tapping from left to right. If you do not have a vice, lay your rifle on its right side with the top edge hanging over a table and tap out each sight.

Once these sights are removed, you can tap the new sights into place from left to right. If your rifle is older or has a lot of range time, a little WD will go a long way in making the removal of your old sights much easier. If you purchase replacement rear sights that utilize the scope mounting holes, then you will simply need to secure it using the provided hardware. A few of our picks require that you remove the factory barrel band to replace the front sight. If choosing this type of sight, you will have to cut the barrel band with a Dremel tool to remove it.

I have found that most gunsmiths will complete this swap for you for pretty cheap if you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself. In order to post comments, please make sure JavaScript and Cookies are enabled, and reload the page.

Rugged All Steel Construction. Provides longer sight radius than original sights. This also happened to a buddy of mine. Good luck finding a replacement. The front sight has no windage or elevation adjustment. On top of the front sight having no adjustment, there is a round ball on top of the blade that obstructs the sight picture.

If you try to adjust for elevation, chances are the screw head is going to break.
