Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles My not so “tactical” rifle

Yeah, its generally a weird flyer. Sometimes not, sometimes you know you fd up and called the shot. I remember last year I purposely shot a cold clean barrel with one of my hunting rifles at one of our centerfire shoots. That was after I felt bad for pulling my CTR out... So, 1 cold clean bore shot, the next one to verify if POI changed after a fouling shot, and it didn't, then the next 8 were adjusted shots...:


I know, it's a scope, its like cheating. I'm like 79s and can't wait for the clubs to start in with shooting matches again. The weather has been perfect over here for it..

I should clarify we are talking to different styles. I shoot mostly Mid range prone. In the AR tactical class, Which is all slow fire we start at 300, 500 and 600. Our fun shoots are all 600yds. I shoot occasional service rifle, our club host monthly reduced yardage service rifle. They do host one leg match a year, which is why I want to get better as a sling shooter.

Ok, so the OP is not responding to us anymore.. Ha ha. I guess we went way off track. Still talking service rifle matches and target shooting, but went too far off track. Just to make the OP happy, I will say that his thread got me motivated. I bought some irons, they are being shipped right now. These attach to a rail and are supposed to be pretty good sights. I'll be the judge of that, although they get some pretty good reviews. I started getting my Noveske ready for the new sights. Didn't take too much time, looked through my stash of parts and found a windham weaponry gas block that was supposed to go on my new WW varmint exterminator barrel I bought a few months ago. Didn't use it because the thing is a tank. I had to ream the holes out a bit to get it to fit my Noveske barrel, but that was easy, didn't cost anything, but about 15 minutes. Well, then I counter sunk some holes in my noveske barrel for the set screws to nestle in nice and tight. Loctited them in place and everything is solid. Much better than just throwing the new front sight on the end of the rail. Here's what I got so far:





I'll have approximately 24" of sight radius with the new sights attached.

I'm hoping these "cheap" sights as rost called them work a little better than he thinks.. He may be right, as I've never had a set of these Ultradyne C4 sights before...I think it will be something fun to experiment around with though, if they work good..

You can get great deals on Warner's these days. Or just about any of the match sights - PNW, Phoenix, etc.

If I had a mind to shoot iron-sighted match rifle, I'd darn sure be picking up a RightSight.

I'm going to be starting a new thread on these sights I just put on my rifle today:


I'll ask you what those sights you speak of are there... Thanks buddy...

Unfortunately, I don't know of any shooting supply shops selling the RightSight anymore, it looks like it has been discontinued. But here is a post where an old HP guy is selling his Warner rear sight and his (front) Rightsight.

You think its different, but its still basically the same. All of the ones you mention anyway. FWIW

Prices have gone much higher on these match sights as almost all are no longer being made. There are some new ones coming in the pipeline, I saw an English rear sight on display at our State Palma Championship last December. As I recall it will sell for about $800-$850 which is pretty much what a used Warner No. 2 match direction will go for today assuming you can find one...

What happened to Warner? Yes I"m out of the loop. Those were kind of good sights from what I saw and heard over the years.

Oh yeah.. I THINK I shot the 99-3x with a sling.. not a dang rest off a bench. LOL.

He is still in business, just not making the sights. The switch to scopes on XC Match Rifles must have been a big impact and while they are still needed for long range sling shooters, we can't be a very big market and getting smaller. Not as many people like a challenge these days I guess (says the Luddite).

Wow.

Let me think... Kidd... thats the only part of the name I can think of. Was building GOOD 92s for service pistol. Really good guns. Not cheap. Finally got into so much other stuff and not much demand so he basically quit last time I heard..

I really should have bought one for the heck of it, but I had a loaner and thought I was going to go distignuished pistol in 3 matches. And I did. Except for the fact that one of my rapid fires... was on neighbors target.... LMAO.

I should have bought a Warner too just in case....

Whats the go to Palma sight these days then? old Warners?

I'd have to say Warner by a huge margin, particularly the later 32 TPI number 2s as they provide a crazy amount of windage and match up to 1/4 moa clicks with a 30" barrel. Second would be Phoenix and then a Centra or Moes. I have a Centra for back up.

You could get a PNW - Pretty Near Warner!

FWIU, they are good sights. I'm not into match rifles.

My mistake, PNW was what I was thinking when I posted Moes. I have a Warner and Centra, but would pick up a PNW if the price was good.

Yeah, Mike, with these high-end sights a lot of it comes down to what you like - knob size/placement, markings, etc., etc.

But Warner is the standard of comparison.

In your picture, the rifle is sitting on a front rest and bench.

You good. Maybe it was another postal type match then. Or maybe I shot with the sling and used the rest for photo. Not sure. LOL. Doesn't matter. One thing is sure it was rusty and piss poor shooting.

Were is that target stuff anyway, I might get a laugh out of seeing that picture again.

I’m sure your old crabby ass would say, AR tactical class are cheating with bipods, and 10x scopes shooting out to 600yds. We also don’t shoot rapid fire in mid range prone competition.

Go shoot that ol 458 a few times maybe it will jar your memory
