Sights on handi-rifles
« on: February 08, 2005, 06:26:54 PM »
Greetings,
I sent out my handi-rifle frame a while back to have a .357 barrel fitted to it and when I got it back I was suprised to find a set of decent sights on the barrel. Most of the handi-rifles I have seen have different sights on them I am not too fond of but my new .357 bbl has Williams sights installed. Is this something new and if so does anyone know if they will be using these Williams sights on the Tracker 2 slug guns as the Tracker 2 slug guns I have seen all have the older style sights installed.  Thanks in advance for your help.
Jim

je265, I have also seen williams sights on a youth .243.Maybe someone can tell us if these are coming on the  new handirifles.My .357 barrel had the regular sights and didn't have enough adjustment,so I put a 4x scope on it.

Actually, the post above is missing the first 4 calibers before the "(Includes adjustable open sights.)" phrase:

224 22 Hornet, 22" $82.00
231 30/30 Win., 22" 82.00
44M 44 Mag., 22" 82.00
457 45/70 Gov’t., 22" 82.00
(Includes adjustable open sights.)

Then, as the rest of the post shows, the SY5, SY4 and SY3 have open sights. All the rest simply have scope mount rails.
