Peep sites

[Shootist43]

I read through all of the previous posts on this thread to make sure I wouldn't be duplicating any information previously given / mentioned. Attached is a link to McLaughlin Metal Works. BTW John McLaughlin makes these sights for Rigby. At least that is what he said when I bought mine. www.mclaughlinmetalworks.com

Shootist43,
did you do any "shiming" to the cocking piece so that it always returns to the same position? thanks

If the cocking piece is cocked, it's sear should be compressed against the trigger sear, holding it firmly in place. However, the sear must also flow freely in its track so the bolt can be cycled. Would the cocking piece be compressed in exactly the same position every time? Good question. Maybe not "exactly" but for dangerous game ranges probably close enough. When sighting the rifle to zero, especially bore sighting, it must be remembered to always cock the bolt when adjusting the sights. Bore sighting a cocking piece sight would be cumbersome compared to barrel or receiver mounted sight. I can line the bore up on a spot on the garage but unlikely it will still be lined up if I have to insert and close the bolt to check the iron sights attached to it.

Jeffery404, I sent my bolt to John McLaughlin and he did the necessary machining to install the "Plains Game" sight I purchased from him. If the cocking piece on the bolt you send to him isn't up to specs he will manufacture a new one. I've shot the rifle (a BRNO VZ - 24) several times after the installation repeating the zero.

Bolt peeps are not that complicated, even for a former Ranger. Not only can I operate it; I haven't managed to break it or lose it (and I did not tie it down with 550 cord either) I popped the scope off, clicked it up one notch and went back in the brush to pop this little buck when he was trying to court some of the local ladies.

Safe shooting

You shouldn't be looking around at those peep sites--your wife is going to get you!

Everything about this is handsome and pleasing.
The rifle. The buck. The late afternoon lighting.
Congratulations and well done, sir.

Very nice rifle! Any close-up pics of the bolt peep?
