New guy here;
Getting into NRA High Power. Wondering if a FAQ exist somewhere on fitting my rifle with match type sights.
I.e., I've had it recommended to me that Anschutz or Redfield is a good front sight; and to seek out a Redfield International, Olympic, or Palma rear sight. I've been to Champion's Choice in Lavergne, TN and looked at a Centra they had, as well as some others.
What baffles me, is the vast array of front sight inserts, as well as rear sight assemblies, and the various parts required to use them.
In my eBay searches, I see some sights with a rear aperture, I'm wondering if these will take another manufacturer's "variable size" aperture (is this an Iris?); what is standardized with what, etc.
One fellow I shoot with had a good condition rear sight assembly with an aperture that you turn, and adjust the size of the hole (I think this is called an iris, but I don't know for sure). His price on it seemed to be very fair when compared to eBay completed items (that is, I can't beat it anywhere) but I would like to know either manufacturers' resources or whether or not something exists, either here or elswhere, on what means what... like, what's the difference in a globe front sight vs. ??? else; what's a Palma rear sight, etc. etc. etc..
Will be waiting patiently for the mist to be cleared; all help is appreciated!
