Does anyone have a decent photo they could share of the XS sight rear sight on a No.1?

It's on their site. Page down 1/2 way, there is a photo of it on the right side.

Thanks�. I know what the sight looks like, I was hoping to see what it looks like mounted on a No.1

Four year later bump! laugh


I started down this road again and remembered making this post. Almost four years later and I still can't find a photo of a No.1 with an XS sight mounted on it. NECG and Skinner, but no XS.

I know you are not asking, but; I like NECG.

A few posts down from the top.

A couple of caveats. You will probably need to shorten the two attachment screws to attach the sights but that just takes a few minutes work with a dremel or file.

Also, make sure you can get the two rear screws out of the rib before investing in an XS sight. You'll notice the rear screw sits even with the rear scope mounting scallop. Before mounting a scope those screws come out easily enough, but once you mount a scope and screw the ring down tight that physically squeezes the rear rib around the screw and locks it in place. And I'm not talking farmer tight, just normal tight as you would for any ring mount system. It is a soft, allen head screw worthy of a Tikka ring and is easily stripped out. As they say, "don't ask me how I know".

Thanks a lot. The strange thing is I've read that thread before, and have seen all those photos... save for the ones of the XS. Perhaps the photos didn't load/show at the time. (?)
