10/22 sights
 

Anybody have some recommendations for new sights for my new 10/22? I find the stock sights to be difficult to see for paper punching and general plinking?

scope?

Yeah, I'll probably end up with a scope on it at some point, but I'd like to get good with it with open sights for now.

Tech Sights are the absolute best thing you can do to your 10/22.

I highly recommend Tech Sights. I shoot my 10/22 a lot more now since I put them on. :supergrin:

If you're wanting to use the 10/22 to produce tight groups from a bench, mount a scope. If you want to learn to shoot better offhand and/or using a sling, plinking your way through a few full BX-25's and having fun with it, tech-sights (or if you're not comfortable with an aperture sight, a red-dot).

The problem with the tech sights as I see it is that you have to replace both front and rear sights. If you go with a Williams WGRS sight it mounts in the rear scope mount holes and gives you a low profile peep.

Not low enough to use the stock front sight. I had to buy a taller front sight to use the Williams receiver sight.
Still, it a decent sight. The adjustment lock screws are tiny though.

Try a bit of 'white out' on the front sight blade and you'll get a better contrast to see better. Some folks use fingernail polish. YMMV

How is that a problem? :dunno:

Another plug for Tech Sights.......

I prefer the 100 series with elevation adjustment only at the front sight.

I'm personally a fan of the NoDakSpud rear sight which includes a picatinny rail combined with the TechSight front sight with the taller National Match front post.

You end up with an AR style sight that you can still mount a scope or red dot to should you choose. I've got my scope on see through rings and set up my stock so my NPOA is correct for the scope. In a pinch I can scrunch and use the irons without removing the scope.

Glad to see more offerings for plinking-tier 10/22 aperture sights.

Now if you really want precision.....Lyman 90MJT! :wow:

Another vote for tech sights.....

Although I haven't seen/tried the NoDakSpud, they seem similar.

There is something satisfying about being able to hit a toy army man at 25m with open sights. (A simulated 800-900m shot at zero wind)

My Ruger 10 / 22 has Nikon P22 mounted with Leupold med height and I have the Iphone app for it as well. Very useful thing my wife has become good with. I did buy seven BX25's before the crazy hit too.

It's a good system with the Nikon P22. I recommend.
