Im looking to get into using aperture sights. I have a 22 and several other guns I might consider one for. The kind of aperture sight I am after is the one with the large eye piece in the back that has the tiny hole in it. Called a diopter I think. And the front sight that looks like a cylinder in the front with little tiny inserts that have different sized rings to see through. My vision isnt all that great and at a gun show someone let me see his. I looked through a skylight (ceiling was cathedral shaped and skylight windows were standing vertical) and at a pine tree at the end of the parking lot and the aperture was so small it fit a pinecone from that far ( atleast 200 yards). I dont know why I could even see it because without looking through the sight I couldnt see the pinecones very well. I asked him if it had a lens and he said it didnt. He said he used it for long range shooting, like out to 400 yards or so. Anybody know what the heck it was and where I can get mine? It didnt look like the ladder sights used on sharps rifles. It appeared as though it had a bracket screwed down in the holes like a telescopic sight mounting bracket and the sight unit was mounted on said bracket.
