Pump actions

Anyone shooting a pump 22? What’s the gun and sights of choice?
I’ve got a Remington 572, with a Williams peep, but the adjustment on it probably wouldn’t be fine or repeatable enough…

Some of us have shot the Winchester 61 pump with Williams rear sight and they work very well.Your choice of front sight will vary.
The original sights could get you into the new 22 Open Sight Sporter Rifle match at some clubs Leveraction Silhouette matches.

I still shoot a Winchester 61 with a Redfield peep sight. It is a great combination. I wouldn’t put one on it if I had an original rifle, but this one was set up this way in the 1950s.

I use Wiliams FP sights and are repeatable and accurate.
If it's tube-fed, you can't start loading until "Ready" is called. That puts you at a slight disadvantage compared to just slapping in a magazine.
The 61 Winchester on mine has the grooved receiver.Used the Williams FP-TK 22 clamp on.
I did have to install a higher and wider front sight post for silhouette,my preference.

Leveraction silhouette calls for tube feed loading on ready command.
This thread is nearly a month old, but I thought I'd throw in my $2 worth and expand on some of the points, the williams sight will work fine, they repeat without issue and fine adjustments aren't required in this game. You will usually be making corrections to the tune of a full revolution most of the time. The williams GR won't require a taller front sight, but the AG will, both clamp to the scope dovetail, but the AG clamps under the elevator, making it much taller. Everybody has to use a tube fed mag in lever, no box magazines are allowed, they give you 30 seconds to load, so no problem there.
Now to my real purpose of hijacking this thread to remind people that the piedmont gun club lever gun series will host their second of six matches, 4 best scores count for awards, this coming Saturday in Rutherford County NC. Practice starts at 10am and the first match is smallbore lever, target change and then pistol cartridge lever, then CLA on swingers will finish it out. Hope to see some of you there.

Should have mentioned I’ve got a WGRS 54 sight which isn’t as adjustable as the others mentioned. I’ve got an old Lyman and a Redfield that I might try out too, just need drilling and tapping for a few holes.
