Daisy 5899 Peep Sight Reviews

Windage and elevation adjustments. Slides onto mounting rail easily.

Nothing.

Fits any pellet rifle or pistol that has a scope mounting rail that extends to the very rear of the air gun.

Better then stock sights.

compact excellent to improve accuracy

I like the bargain price and was impressed with how well made this peep sight is! My daisy 954 target-pro is a tackdriver now thanks to this peep sight!

Nothing.

We use them on our cadet rifles. They are a great sight

This is a good affordable entry level aperture sight.

Making substantial changes to this sight will drive the price up and defeat their purpose. Upscale sights are already available- keep these affordable.

The mounting screws are now socket head, an allen wrench is included. This sight can be used on the Daisy 753 and 953 if it's used with the Daisy model 853 front barrel weight/globe sight assembly, p/n 138116-100. Front sight insert set is p/n 163912-000.

I put this sight on a Weihrauch HW50 .22. It fits perfectly, looks great and dialed in at 10 meters with the windage and elevation adjustments well in the middle of their range. I like this sight in this application as well as the Williams FP-AG-TK I have on my HW30 at 1/3 the cost.

If you're one of those shooters that think you can't shoot iron sights anymore, but have never tried a peep sight, this would be a great way to see if maybe, your 'old eyes' got some mileage left.

This is the second sight I have bought, because of the reasons I stated in my first review of this product. (lots of adjustment, well made.)This sight makes for excellent accuracy.

Philips screws need to be changed to socket heads.

The sight will fit many 3/8 dovetails on guns, but it was necessary to clear out some material on the underside of the sight to fit the crown on my Crosman rifle.

Well made sight with lots of adjustment, mounts solid to dovetail, looks super.

Get rid of philips screws and put socket head screws for clamp.

Works great on my webley rebel with 1/2 riser block to clear bolt. also works well with my crosmsn 2400 with steel breach. gotta buy another one as soon as available.

I put this sight on my Daisy 953. It really works. I love its accuracy, good design, and the price.

Nothing

This sight is very good for my Junior Basic Marksmanship class.

The Daisy 5899 Peep Sight is well worth the price. Sight adjustments are positive and precise and, because of its light weight, the sight is not affected by recoil, staying in position rather than slipping to the rear in the mounting grooves.

I would prefer a smaller aperture.

The Daisy 5899 Peep sight can be used on a Crosman 1377 pistol equipped with a steel breech kit and a longer .177 barrel. A standard barrel weight and front sight from a Daisy 953 air rifle are required, but like the 5899 sight they are relatively inexpensive and easy to mount. While the height of the standard barrel weight and sight are ideal, I found the Daisy hooded front sight too high to be of use.

Excellent clean quality build, easy and accurate to adjust,looks good

Nothing

In use enables deadly accurate grouping size of 2 pence or a nickel at 10m which is double BB guns intended range so ecellent.

Easy to use, enjoyable to use. Works great.

I've never used a sight like this before, but I put it on my Daisy 953 and actually prefer this sight to my Bug Buster scope for this gun. I sighted it in very easily, and it has stayed right on target. I use it for approximately 10 to 20 yards, which is exactly what this gun was designed for. Works far better than the factory iron sights. Perfect upgrade for my 953, and worth every penny.

Aperture sight like a military rifle.

Nothing, works fine as is.

The best upgrade for a Daisy 953! I use it with the original fiber optic front sight and can shoot pellets through the same hole on the paper target repeatedly.

After adjustment it holds zero! For about $50, the 5899 and Daisy globe front sight provide a huge improvement over factory sights on a cheap pellet gun such as the Daisy 760. It is useful for informal 10 meter practice or plinking. This is a better way to learn to shoot than fooling around with a cheap scope.

Mount should fit a round-top receiver. Increased vertical range adjustment would be helpful. Adjustment detents could be a little more positive. Needs just a little more beef in the mount.

For the price, one should expect it to be mostly plastic, but that seems not much of a problem. I had to flatten the receiver on the 760 (also plastic) and epoxy the barrel to the pump cylinder for accuracy - it is ugly but a quick way to stop the barrel from flopping around in the receiver. Also had to lower the front sight to compensate for inadequate height adjustment in the rear.

Excellent upgrade to Daisy 953. One rugged hole groups from rest at 10 meters. Scope was giving too much magnification making it hard to quickly acquire the target. Started shooting off hand since it was no fun to make one hole groups anymore. Installed along with Daisy front sight.

I don't know about others, but for my 953, 10 meters setting hast to be the highest possible for this sight (that's with front sight changed as well). No big deal since my shooting area is no longer than this but if someone wants to shoot it farther they would have to install it more forward therefore causing the whole sight being slightly elevated by resting on the receiver.

Makes my Daisy 953 very accurate. Easy to install and easy to adjust for windage and elevation.

Nothing

If you want to improve on accuracy, and don't want to go the scope route, this is the product to buy.

The body is made of metal, not plastic, but the knobs and a few other parts are plastic. It is very accurate and easy to use. Great value for the money. Looks very nice mounted in the rifle too. It comes with instructions.

Include some type of high front sight.

I use it with a Daisy 22SG and 880 which are not on the recommended list because the front sights of these rifles are too low for this sight. But with a little imagination you can raise or attach something to the front sight and it works great. I attached a little metal clip to the front sight to make it at least 1/4 inch higher. I guess that just about any rifle with a dove tail (3/8") will work with this sight if you can raise the front sight a little bit.

You really should have this sight for a 499 Champion, because the sight that comes on the gun is too imprecise to adjust accurately. This one adjusts with knobs, so you have a sense of what you are doing. It is very easy to install.

I wish Daisy could redesign this sight for greater precision. The adjustments are sloppy and often don't go where the shooter thinks they should.

You have to get familiar with this sight and its slop, but once you do, it's far better than the peep sight that comes on the 499.
