Just discovered your site. I love target shooting with peep sights.
My question is how would your set up work for an Appleseed shoot vs Tech-sights as the
project Appleseed recommends?

7 years later and this article is still relevant. Thanks again for the write up!

In reply to Gene. Not sure what the non target has for a front sight mount, i think it is dove'd in.

I’ve been studying this site the last day or so, how would this apply to a non target model?
Thanks

Lyman still makes the old 90 MJT target peep sight with quarter-minute adjustments. It mounts to a rail that has to be attached to the left side of the receiver. Oddly, the receiver rail is (supposedly) available from Williams, as an uncatalogued item, rather than from Lyman. Installing it will require quite a bit of inletting on the stock above the trigger on the left side, though.

I have even heard of people using the Daisy 5899 peep sight, intended for air rifles, which clamps to rail-type mounts on top of receivers:

I don’t know what front sight they use with it, but it must be pretty tall. It’s said to be not bad for the money–and I will assume no one is going to have tremendously high expectations of a $20 entry-level air rifle sight that’s made mostly of plastic and potmetal.

In reply to dave. Never heard that, they work fine and hold fine.

Nice writeup, I am thinking of going with the 962-000-050WB (drill and tap) rear sight it should be lower since there is no added rail. The Classic V 10/22 has a barrel strap at the muzzle so the lyman globe without the riser should be close. This is guess work on my part for now but I will naturally try to pin it down before I order. One question though I have read some reviews lately on the williams gun sites complaining that they did not maintain zero on the 10/22. Have you experienced this

Just bought a new Ruger Target model and wanted to install Williams peep sights on it as a souped up Appleseed rifle. I had a dovetail cut in the barrel. I used the tall Lyman front sight, .852. I initially had a FP-AG-TK rear sight. Bullet impacts were 6 inches high at 50 yards with the sight all the way down. Installed a FP-GR-TK after talking to Williams. Now my 50 yard setting is the upper half of the adjustment range on the sight, perfect. Getting groups at 50 yards of right at 1 inch depending on ammo. Thank You

Thanks for a most informative series of information.
I am a new shooter and want to improve my 10/22 sights and this article your preferred set up hit the spot. I am not to familiar with some of the technicalities and have four further questions:
My 10/22 Sporter came with an attachable rail. Would the Williams FP- AG-TK sights fit to that?
The front sight on my rifle fits into an existing dovetail. Will the Lyman #17ATC fit directly into that?
I checked the link to .25 riser block and found it was no longer sold, apparently being replaced by a 0.34 block.will this do the job?
Will the block fit directly into the existing dovetail on my rifle? ( I guess the Lyman will fit directly into the block)
Many thanks for your help.
