Any good fiber optic sights out there for a Ruger 10/22 Sporter?

Williams Gunsight Company, either direct or from Midway. I'd get one of their WGRS receiver sights. Neat, cheap, and rugged.

My old eyeballs do better with a square blade like a Skinner, than a bead, fiber optic or not.

Hiviz,fire sights

None that I have tried

The problem with any Fiber Optic iron sight is that by their very design, they are not that precise. Unless you have really good eyesight, they are not good much past 30 yards or so.

And they slso DO NOT provide a bright sight picture when you need it most- in low light. That's because they are dependant on ambient light to work.

IMHO, the best iron sights for a 10/22 are a good Patridge square blade front sight like the Skinner blade Pappy recommendedi or a low set globe sight like the Lyman 17 AHB model with your choice of inserts. If low light performance is a concern , a dab of Glow paint will work better than most Fiber optics inserts.

For a rear sight, the Williams WGRS Peeo is great as well as M1 Carbine style NODAK Spud and Tech Sights.

Probably the simplest and cheapest route is one I use as the backup sights in all my utility 10/22 rifles-
the Skinner Patridge front blade with the factory Ruger rear sight. If you look closely at the Ruger sight, the notch slide has the U notch on top but there is slso a Square notch at the bottom. Flip that notch slide around so that square notch shows. It works great with a post frobt sight. And more precise than a set of Firesights .

Depends on what you want to do with the rifle. I've got a set of Williams fiber optic sights fore and aft on a 10/22.

This is a walking around rifle and those sights are good enough to make a crow real nervous offhand at 100 yards without a rest.

I see them better in poor light than the factory sights.

You might consider the XS sights for the 10/22. I have them on 2 different 10/22's and love them. I like them MUCH better than fiber optics on those guns.
