Air Venturi Rear Sight, Micrometer Reviews

inexpensive

nothing

I bought this rear sight and the matching globe front sight to mount on a 10 pound Cando "wate bar." Sorry, I cannot speak to their adjustability or accuracy. I simply use them to practice standing shooting posture and NPA. The bar is much heavier than my PCP target rifle so I get a little strength work as well, After 30 lifts I start wobbling pretty good, I am trying to get up to 60 lifts in an hour without excessive movement. Then, When I pick up my PCP it feels like a feather. I'm an old guy and don't have the strength I once had and this supplemental work is very helpful.

Can make it fit on 901 . Sight required for training.

Need front sight with it and need to make own barrel extensions for front siggt. Need to modify rifle to have this sight attach cirrectly.

Kids that are just starting to learn riflry need accurate affordable rifle with sights. For some reason no longer sold.

Good sight

Salezman said would fit 901 daisy air rifle it does not without modifications will see if our old club rifle sights work as this does not.

Make sure you k ow which rifle using on.

Simple to mount. Works as expected. Compatible with UX Embark. Will update after using for a while.

Basic instructions would be appreciated, both for mounting and for adjusting. The whole sight feels cheap, but it works very well.

On the UX Embark, I had to remove the plastic piece that covers the rear of the spring tube. This peep sight hanga so far over the back of the gun that it makes it difficult to manually engage the safety, but it is still possible. I also had to remove the rear sight because it was blocking the view of the front sight through the peep. Use a coin to turn the thumbscrew down firmly, and check for movement and loosening regularly. Get your eye close to the aperature and concentrate only on the front sight and the target...ignore the rear sight completely. Don't try to center anything in the aperature as it it is a rear sight, you will do it automatically. Basically, the peep forces your eye to be the rear sight! Shoot for a group. Once you have a solid group forming, then you can adjust the sights. You might be surprised how many clicks it takes to move your point of impact. This is a good sight to introduce you to using a peep sight.

Nothing do not use on a springer,

Make it stronger. get a new source for lower priced optics especially for springers. I have no idea what it would be like on a PCP.

Don't waste your money will not hold a zero on any hard springer. I purchased this for a fun gun, nothing serious like my FWB but this would not hold a zero. The internals are loose, it's a waste of money. To be a bit kind the IZH-61 springer will eat a scope. I went back to the original iron.

It's a reasonably priced facsimile of a match grade target sight. Perfect for informal shooting or entry level competition. I bought it in conjunction with the Daisy Globe front sight for my QB78. Once fitted they are giving me great accuracy without having to mount a scope. The unit has a generous range of adjustment which came in handy as my QB78 is a bit crooked. The barrel and receiver are not concentric and the gun needs a large amount of windage to zero. This is true with scopes also. So far everything is working as it should.

Nothing really. It is a good match of price vs quality.

The top of the 3/8th rail on the QB78 has to be milled/filed flat to accept this rear sight. There is a radius that doesn't allow the sight to fit flush and engage the grooves fully. This is not the fault of the sight, it just doesn't have a lot of clearance on the underside of the clamping interface.

have being using them on my converted Crosman 1377 & 2240 pistols to rifles.With a shorter stock they work great &,improve accuracy for my younger 4-h shooters.

nothing

will need 11mm spacer, steel breech,Daisy globe front sight + insert And Crosman longer barrel

Very easy to install and sight in. Very accut

Nothing, designed and setup for target shooting

Good price. Easy to adjust. I use it on a Diana 340 N-TEC, as far back as it will fit on the dovetails, so my sight radius is 32". for initial sighting in I went by full turns, rather than clicks.

It says the aperture is 0.32". It seems a little smaller, than that. I would prefer it a little larger, than that.

At first the sight would slide along the dovetails when fired ( based on comments, this seems to be a common problem ). While trying to figure out what to do about that, I noticed that the clamping piece was installed upside down ( The tapered side, that is supposed to catch in the dovetail, was on top and the blunt side was on the bottom ). I flipped it over, re-installed and it stayed put. This should be checked, before resorting to some of the drastic measures mentioned in other comments.

I received a defective sight and Pyramyd Air refunded my money. It is constructed out of metal / sheet metal. Easy to adjust.

Never been a fan of single screw mounting systems.

I think their are better options out there at this price point.

Easy to mount and zero at 30 yards with my Diana Chaser 22 Rifle.Got 2 inch groups. I did shorten to 25 yards and with slight vertical adjustment got 1.5 inches almost regularly. (not bad for a 73 year old) Quality is very good. This sight elevates the Chaser to a very accurate target piece.

Nothing

I drink my coffee black. I play acoustic guitars. I peddle my bike. Simple and natural are good things. A good peep sight is the best way to shoot targets well without complication and to maximize your sporting fun. BTW - if dust gets into the aperture just unscrew the rubber housing and dislodge with a pin.

Good Value

Machine notches or serrations in the clamping area for a better grip on the dovetail.

Make sure and check the tightness of the clamping screw regularly as it will loosen if you're using it on an Izzy. You can use a needle file to make "small" notches in the clamping area of the sight and use "Vibra Tite" on the clamping knob and eliminate the need for constantly checking.

Easy to use and mount. Sighting in is easy, definite clicks can be heard for height and windage.

Nothing

Nice quality, positive control knobs, easy mount to flat dovetail

Just the price. I wanted one of these and was willing to pay the $50, but I think it's overpriced

Peep sights are an interesting challenge. They add another dimension to shooting. This is my second review of this same item, but I don't see any record of the first one. I've done that a couple of times. I think I need to wait until I'm asked to do a review and will in the future.

Perfect fit on my flat dovetail, quality finish, nice rubber eye shade, positive labeled adjustment knobs. Same quality as peeps that sell for twice the price.

Maybe some white paint on the elevation gradients, but that 's about it.

I think using peep sights and open sights are a challenging part of shooting. I'm an old guy who needs reading glasses and probably distance correction as well but don't use or need any glasses at all with peep sights. My eye seems to automatically adjust to focus on the target. Not crystal mind you, but pretty good. It's very gratifying to create a one inch group at 20 yards with NO scope. Peep sights also save the weight of the scope/rings on your gun, sometimes even a pound or more. I enjoy shooting light rifles more than heavy myself and that was another factor for me. Reading other reviews on this product helped me to decide to order this particular sight. I'm very happy I did. I almost went for the Daisy, but they look to be identical and I can't imagine it would be any better than this one. I'm using this on a Beeman QB2078. Took 10 seconds to install. I also bought the spare set of front rings and with a bit of filing they worked too. Happy shooting guys.

Gets 5stars for tightening up the accuracy of an MP 61. With stock sights I was having difficulty grouping. I added this and front sights inserts on the gun and it now groups very well.

There's really no way to avoid this but it seemed to take forever to get this zeroed. But when it is zeroed to the gun it makes the gun very accurate.

A must have for any MP-60 or MP-61 if you want accuracy.

I'm giving it a full 5 stars. I noticed this did wonders for my MP-61 when used with the sight inserts I also bought with it. The gun went from generally hitting the target to consistent dime size groups at 12 feet which is all the room I have in my apartment. It took several minutes to dial in but once I had it in it was grouping very nice. A single click on the elevation and one on the windage changes everything down range.

Really changes the game on an MP-61. Well worth the time and price.

This sight was very easy to install and zero in. I changed the blades on the front sight twice and in both cases, I was able to zero in the sight in less than 10 shots. I was firing from 21 feet into a Camo 6x6 pellet trap. I am able to get quarter size groups shooting free-hand from that distance. If I shoot off of a rest, I feel I could get tighter groups.

I have no negatives on this product. I have been very pleased with the function of the sight.

I'm 71 years old with 71 year old eyes. For me, I have problems sighting in low light. I have a Winchester M14 CO2 rifle with a "peep" rear sight and have the same difficulty in low light. This may be the nature of a peep sight. However, with good light, This is a tremendous sight.

sight works pretty good, nice for a new shooter and advanced shooter,

Could use a metal insert on the clamping surface to keep it from walking on a springer.

Just as William from the USA says, they did a fine job of making this with sheet metal. Very solid. I don't quite know what he means about some looseness, mine sits firmly. this is a great little sight on my R1. Because of the pinhole effect I can shoot well without my glasses. I have found this is a better arrangement on the R1 than the leapers scope I had. The sight line more in alignment with the trajectory gives better doping / adjustment ability in the 10 to 20 yard range of this fine little shooter.

Nothing critical can be said for a product like this for 30 bucks.
