Page 3 of 4 - Crosman Williams Rear Sight, Notched Reviews

This is very well built rear sight. It fits the Crossman with steel breech as shown and within minutes I had it zeroed in.

The adjustments are super easy. However, the elevation adjusted is about 3 bars from the top. I would provide more ways to lower the whole unit. There are some screws that one could fiddle with but since it works why fiddle.

I used it with a fibre optic front sight. If you have the normal sight, I am not too sure about elevation play. It will work but with the fibre optic front acquisition is fast and quick.

Very well made, easy to precisely zero your point-of-aim (POI), and a pleasure to work with.

It would be nice if there was a simple way to adjust the cant. If your breech is a few degrees off level, the wide Williams sight will exaggerate the issue and appear to lean left or right, depending. There is a remedy for this which I won't go into here -- search the crosman forums or ask me in the comment option below my review.

Another reviewer here stated it quite well, but I'd like to reiterate his points regarding mounting this sight on a 2300t or 2300kt from the custom shop. You WILL need/want the extended bolt handle that comes standard on the 2300s. Otherwise, you'll have to mount the sight hanging way off the back of the gun. If you have a muzzle device, you will also need the taller front sight post from the 2300s in order to have enough elevation adjustment. (I can't speak to the blade sight and whether it's tall enough.)

When someone orders a 2300KT with a Williams sight from the custom shop, Crosman NEEDS to include the longer handle and taller sight. Without those parts, they're sending you a gun/sight combination that is virtually unusable. I've discussed this at length with Crosman and they tell me they are addressing it. For now, just call them and they'll send the parts for $12.23 shipped.

All things considered, it's an excellent sight and I'd get it again.

Large range of adjustment for both windage and elevation. It does the job

The sight looks awkward and really big on my 2300T. It's a large contraption for such a small sight.

Overall the sight is a little too "universal" and even though it's marketed for the 2300T, is really too large for the air pistol. Expensive for what you get.

Professional quality sight at a very reasonable price! Worth twice the price. Perfect sight for the Crosman 1701P.

Nothing

Spread the word. This is THE sight for the Crosman 1701P.

Easy installation, easy adjustment.

In my opinion, this is the best deal for open sights that is available.

The quality of this sight can really only be appreciated by working with it. It seems like it's carved out of a single, almost seamless piece of metal. The click detents are firm and crisp, and the range of adjustment is outstanding.

Because of its range of adjustment, this sight will fit a wide range of pistols and rifles with a 3/8" mounting rail.

Easy to install the sight itself is bigger than I thought it would be. But the size isn't a problem what so ever. The build quality is amazing and worth the money I spent. The sight makes a world of difference over the standard sight I had on my 2240 pistol. I'm not a big fan of using scopes or a red dot on a pistol. adjusting the Williams sight for windage & elevation adj are easy to do using just your fingers no need for a screw driver on this sight.

When spending this amount of money on this sight you would hope they would package it in a box. My was shipped in a plastic bag don't get me wrong Pyramyd Air did a great job on packing this order and all my other orders. The maker Of this sight should package this in a box. You can buy a 40.00 scope it always come in a box.

A very well built rear sight with easy adj.

Mounts easily, lots of adjustment.

Nothing.

Very nice easy to sight in. Put it on my 2300T and replaced the front sight with fiber optic and my gun is now easier to shoot than it was with a red dot,

It is a little large perhaps they could reduce the size a little bit especially near the breach bolt.

Very precise adjustments. Settings don't drift at all. Mounts very securely. Good crisp notch.

Figure how to make it a bit more compact. It takes up a lot of space on the receiver and sticks out both sides. This is a minor quibble though.

Although large this is an exceptional notch-type target sight. Mine is mounted on a Crosman 2300S.
