Peep sight for Leupold QR bases?

[chuck nelson]

I’m referring to their QR, not QRW rings/bases.

Has anyone seen such a thing? It looks like they could be made as well. Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

I think it would be very easy to make a peep for it, if one isn’t made already

I think you'd need a tall front sight as the base plus aperture sight would sit quite high.

 

[chuck nelson]

Stock design dictates that anyway.

How Bout an old redfield flip up?

 

[chuck nelson]

That is a consideration for sure. I even happen to have one.

I’ve had these sitting in my basement for 20 years. Maybe I should put them to use.

I’ve been sleuthing for one of those peeps for a while for a project of mine! Found a few in fleabay..... but no luck in shipping to Canada.

 

[chuck nelson]

Definitely a neat option.

I put one of those little flip ups on a friends m70. They seem like a no brainer if you want a backup peep.

Bill put one on a warne base for my 9.3x62 that I just sold for some reason.

A more expensive version would be brockmans, but then you have to buy Talleys.

Wonder how that sight will line up with the Echols stock. Mine with the warne was quite low, but the McMillan compact worked well for that. Looks like the leupold base might add a bit of height, which you’ll probably need with that stock.

Definitely a practical little sight ............. now I need one .

Anyone know where to find those flip up peeps? And I assume its just drill and tap to the base?

It would be simple to put a threaded hole in the base stud of a Leupold QR mount, cut off most of the ring base and leave the stud. Screw in the aperture from a Steve's guns Rossi peep sight. the one that replaces the safety on newer Rossi M92 carbines. You will have a peep sight that is adjustable for height, but not windage. Should work fine if you drill the hole in the right place.

Took me a minute to picture that but I think I quite like what your saying. Would there be enough meat in the cut of QR stud to thread a hole for the peep, Steve’s or others?

I bought a bunch a few years back, will dig around and see if any are left.

Where could you get a Steve's peep sight. I tried they won't ship to Canada.
Thanks in advance
