Need more input on the front sight, doesn't look like it's made for a dovetail, but pics can be deceiving, but there are dovetail adapters for mounting with a screw, give Tru-glo a call or email for more details.

Will give them a call and get a post up with what I find.  3/8" dovetail front, Tim?  Any idea the exact sizing and spacing for the rear sight screws?

Rear sight/mount hole spacing is 1" and 1.3", front dovetail slot is 3/8".  ;)

Found the same sight on a different site, slightly better picture. Still not sure if the hood has a dovetail.

No response yet from e-mail to Truglo. Anyone seen an 800#?

Since it's a universal sight, it probably comes with an adapter that slides into the dovetail, then a screw is used to mount the sight to the adapter.

Actually, found this on the review page at Cabela's. First review leads me to believe I should get one.  Think a Vernier and a fiber optic on the same gun will be sacrilege?

Ordering one now. If this works well it may be another one for the FAQ's.
