Win. 94 AE peep sight options?
« on: May 17, 2011, 11:01:50 AM »
Hey guys,

I want to put a peep sight on my Win. 94 AE. I know there's an XS sight, but I assume that's more of a close range option - I want to be able to use this rifle to 100, 150 yards. So, I reckon I'll end up with the Williams sight instead, or maybe a scope eventually - but I'd like to try the peep sight first.

My question is: Which Williams sight is better? And can I find one for sale at Brownells or some such mail-order place as a package, including a fiber optic front sight? I would like to have a fiber optic sight for bear hunting close to dark...

Brownells,

Sells the Williams Foolproof rear peep sight with a Williams Fire Sight front/ramp as a kit for the Model 94 Winchester.  Two different sets one for the top eject and one for the angle eject model 94s.

I have a Williams with a large twilight aperture on my '94, and a Firesight front sight.  The firesight really shows up which my old eyes need, but I think it really looks out of place on a '94.  As does the receiver sight.   :-\

It works fine for me where the longest shot from my main stand is 50 yards.

I have, hi-ebber, and day aways be a hi-ebber, taken it off and will replace it with a similar Lyman sight.   I would get the model with the windage/elevation knobs though.  Those screws are a pain!   ::)

This is the Williams #70103 FP-94SE SET, including a FoolProof peep sight & FO front FireSight of proper height - but NOT a rear barrel sight slot filler blank, which has to be either bought separately or made from the front end of an old longleaf rear sight's male dovetail.

I like the willaims sight. I like it better then a brockman or ao or any of the other peeps. Only one i kind of like better is the lyman but it has to be the old steel one. The new plastic ones are junk. I disagree with a firesight recomendation though. I had a set on my 444 that lasted maybe two months before it broke. Ive also broke other fiber optic sights. there way to fragile for a hunting rifle. Give me a good black post blade. Ive got one on a 4570 that dave clements made me. It has a trinium bar verticly imbedded into a post blade. Now its the cats but for low light but it was expensive.
