Williams offers the WGRS which mounts directly to the receiver using the existing holes for the scope rail. The 5d and FP receiver sights are another option, they're the same idea, but the FP uses a more sophisticated adjustment system, both require drilling and tapping the receiver for mounting the sight. I drilled and tapped my receiver for a 5d sight without too much trouble, finding the right size tap on the other hand proved somewhat difficult. Any of these sights will require you to replace your front sight with a taller blade.

I feel like a parrot because I've said the same thing in at least two other threads today, but I don't like the look of tech sights on a sporter style rifle. Tech sights are popular for a reason though, they're pretty good sights.

I can understand that viewpoint. However, to me, the 10/22 is far from a sleek, classic sporter in both design and appearance; I think it is has more of a para-military, M1/M1 Carbine look to it, and I feel the Tech Sights enhance that look, while offering a much improved sighting option :bthumb: Many complain that they are somewhat overpriced, and that may be (I have yet to try a set myself, but would like to at some point), but I have seen Williams receiver sights selling for more than the cost of the entire Tech Sight package

From what I have seen, Williams offerings are decent, but of varying quality and oftentimes are difficult to fit and sight in. I have had no real problems with the models I have used, but cannot say they are of particularly great quality. When you compare these to the Tech Sights, the price of the latter IMO, becomes quite reasonable indeed :bthumb:

I have been contemplating picking up another semi-auto .22, as my recently acquired Ted Williams 3T (aka Winchester 190) has been a big disappointment so far. The Marlin guns offer great value, and I am considering them, but am leaning more towards the Ruger currently - the fact that my favorite shop informed me that Ruger is the only brand of .22 auto rifles that he has had no common issues or returns may have helped sway me a bit :t

Looking at the 10/22, it has rather decent iron sights right out of the box, unlike most .22s these days. I believe they are made by Marble's and should work OK; that said, there are many upgrades out there in this department, with the Tech Sights being one of the most popular it seems.

For a 'quick fix' I would think it would be no trouble to machine a piece of metal to match the rear plate in the stock rear sight, and drill an aperture in it. I, along with quite a few others, have used this technique on Henry rifles (and at least one Browning BL-22) with surprising success :t While the field of view and sighting radius are not as good as would be offered by a receiver mounted sight, this trick allows for much more accurate shooting than is possible with regular open sights :bthumb: :AR15firin

An additional advantage to the 'poor man's peep sight' is that it maintains the stock sight height, and should theoretically be much easier to sight in than most receiver mounted systems, which often require a taller front sight to get on target. If, like me, you are not mechanically inclined, you can always have someone who is whip something up; it takes little materials, time, or effort to accomplish and is definitely worthy of consideration IMO :bthumb: I had my gunsmith best friend create mine - it took about twenty minutes total, and that included fiddling with different 'aperture' sizes

Edit: here's a link that shows the type of sight I'm referring to: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=318244

Sorry for the rambling, and I hope the OP finds a peep sight that fits the bill :t

Kind Regards,

I've got various receiver sights (they're my favorite!) from newer Williams and Lyman models to older Redfield and Mossberg variants and I have to say that Tech-Sights cannot be beat! Whatever you do, ditch the factory brass bead and get a good, narrow black post.

 

The peep blade from a Ruger Mini14 supposedly fits the 10/22's rear sight.
Further from your eye, so a larger hole might be needed.

 

Tech Sights http://www.tech-sights.com/

You'll love them. Service rifle sight on the 10/22. I ordered them in specifically for my Appleseed. I'm only sorry I didn't do it long ago.

Thanks for all the info guys. I am guessing I will be putting on a set of Tech sights in the near future. I even saw that someone on the Appleseed forum was a dealer so will check them out.
Thanks again.:bthumb:

 

I have 'TWO[2]' That are the side-mount style! Pm me if interested!:t

I like Tech Sights compared to the standard Ruger factory iron sights.
Be sure to go with the Tech 200 series, so you can get some elevation adjustment out of the rear sight. Otherwise all of your elevation changes must be made using the special sight tool on the front sight post, screwing it up or down like an M16A1.

But if you want the best accuracy, use a conventional scope with crosshairs and about 4X magnification.

My eyes can barely see the little one-inch targets they want you to hit at 25 yards, prone. Peeps are a bit better, but a scope is way better.

There's a reason most big and small game hunters use scopes.
There's a reason why target shooting games and contests never allow scoped guns and iron guns to compete equally. Scopes are a significant advantage.

(P.S. This may not be true of $500 match grade aperture sighting systems, with adjustable diopters and assorted lenses either in the sights or clipped over your safety glasses to improve your vision. Those things may be as precise as a scope. But they are unsuitable for field work and not in the spirit of Appleseed.)

 

Another vote for tech-sights.

I have them on my Marlin 60 and my Ruger 10/22

 

TECH-SIGHTS!!! Absolutely the best investment you will make for your 10/22 if you plan on keeping it iron-sighted. I have them, love them, and will not get rid of them. I have the TSR-200, it's the elevation adjustable model. I think that some people are just really cheap when I hear them say that Tech-sights are expensive. They only run like $80 shipped, for front and rear sights and adjustment tool. Doesn't sound like a huge investment to me and trust me, you get WAY more than what you pay for with these guys. In my opinion, they are very well made sights, look awesome, and perform their function flawlessly. Plus they're interchangeable with AR15 front AND rear apertures! Awesome all around. Quit searching and get them. There is no way you will be disappointed with them. :bthumb: :AR15firin

 

Oh and also, if this helps, as soon as my buddy shot my 10/22 with the tech-sights on it he put his 10/22 away for the day and ordered tech-sights that evening after we got back from the range:harry: They're the cat's meow

 

Well they didn't arrive in time to get them on and sighted in. He went with the factory sights and shot a total of 180. Not bad for a 10 year old using those factory sights I told him.
Will have them on and set up for another weekend this coming June. He really has the bug now.
A worthwhile weekend spent with some quality folks.

 

My best score was 190. I cannot see the small 400 yd equivalent targets. I can see the first one, and the last one. the ones in the middle are a blur. Later in the day, even those were hard to see. If I want to make Rifleman, It will be with a scope.

47+ on the large off-hand target were common. Sitting is difficult as I am not flexible enough to get into position. I shot the sitting targets off-hand and did better than sitting.

sitting gets easier when you stretch a bunch. STRETCH one it makes getting into position easier two it's just good for your muscles. cuts down on soreness big time. the other thing to try is you might do better open leg.

Sitting is the most personal position there is. it is hard to say what will or wont work for you. only you can know and try.

PS, the Nodak rear sight only works with the Nodak receiver.

 

Tech Sights are fantastic. Easily adjustable (dont forget to get the adjustment tool). Have held "zero" very well. Easy to install. Tech Sights, flash suppressor, and a ventilated barrel hand guard give my 20 year old 1022 sort of a classic M1 look.

10/22s were made for Tech-Sights!

I got a little carried away with mine though. I put a KNS crosshair in the front and a hooded national match aperature in the rear. The neck of the KNS is too long and I couldn't get enough elevation with the hooded rear.

Went back to the TSR200 elevation adjustable aperature. I'll probably go back to the thin front post and hooded rear. With my aging eyes the crosshair occludes those little 1" sighters and Red Coats.

I was getting better 25 meter groups with the post set for a 6 o'clock hold and POI 1/2" above the post.
