Is there anyone out there who makes a budget receiver that can still utilize barrel mounted iron sights? Got my sights set on a tactical solutions 16 inches with back up iron sights. Trying to build me a little survival rifle for varmints.
Thanks The usual suspects are out of factory takeoff receivers. |

I don't know what you consider "budget" receivers (I assume not Kidd receiver pricing), but Brownell's BRN-22 standard receivers will clear irons sights. The Railed versions will not clear barrel mounted iron sights. I had gotten 3 takedown receivers for $100 each over the past couple months.

They're not on their website anymore. |

Sounds like you have a solution but I bet you could see the sights over the rail.

While these are certainly difficult times regarding price and demand, considering all the other parts you would need, to me it makes more sense to start with a beater pawn shop rescue 10/22 for cheap, or one of the bargain $199 base Rugers mass merchandisers sell.

Some who had the railed BRN-22 complained that they could not see barrel mounted iron sights because the rail are full rails. Tacsol Xring sights might be different depending on its height, but that is a risk 1 takes. Aftermarket 10/22 rails, like EGW, have the rails cutout down the middle to allow sight picture with barrel mounted irons. Tacsol has a rail on their brand receiver, but is intentionally cutdown the middle to allow the use of their own irons. |

Back in the day a lot of the rails had a groove cut down the middle for that purpose but everything has to be picatinny nowadays so you don't see them much anymore. |

I think this is definitely something they should have considered when designing the receiver. As well at having a lot of aftermarket bolts not fitting into the receiver without some relief cuts being made. |

If I was going to build an iron sighted 10/22, I would probably build something in the LTR (Liberty Training Rifle) style using a NDS-25 Rear Sight and NDS-40 front sight base

I'm left handed and right eye dominant. I shoot with my weak eye. AK style sights work far better for me than peep-hole. Every AR I own has some kind of dot or optic mounted to it for good reason. ;) The irons are for backup. |

That's why all my rifles have optics but I've never felt the need for BUIS on my 22s. I've been trying to learn to shoot my long guns lefty which isn't really an issue on the bench but very awkward and unnatural for me in any kind of action type shooting so like you most of the time I'm shooting with my weak eye which is getting harder the older I get. |
