Check out post 9 I got it to work!
I bought a UTG sub compact .22 rifle/shotgun rear sight for a project a while ago. I was trying to mount it to a Savage mark II but the front sight I would have needed would have been much to high to do the project. So I put the peep sight away and never used it.
Recently I purchased a Diana 24 in .22 caliber and figured I could try mounting it on the rifle since the plastic front sight is very high, it just may work out. I would also need to purchase a dovetail to picatinny mount to make this work. My only issue is I threw away the money the first time trying to put peeps on a savage when i should have just bought a set of Tech sights and dont want to do it again.
Does anybody out there run a peep on their Diana 24 with plastic front sight and could give me a measurement of the height of the peep of the dovetail?
That way i would know what type of dovetail to picatinny adapter to buy.
Hope you can help. I know i could pick up a weaver mount but already have this thing in my part bin. If i cant get it to fit I will just run open sights
By the way the rifle shoots like a dream with RWS Hobby, more or less the same POI at 10 and 25 yrds so dont adjust the sights between those two points.
I found it at a show a couple weeks back for $90 did a lube tune and it shoots with a nice thwack and no vibration. Will chrony at some point.
