Metalic sights on a kimber 84m

[punkkinen]

Hey guys,
I'm looking to have some nice adjustable sights installed on a kimber 84m, something like a hooded barrel band front sight likely soldered on because i have a lightweight barrel and a rear sight to match. I live in northern Ontario but do go down south a few times a year to see some family, I would also be willing to ship canada wide if I have to. All that being said does anyone know any good gunsmith that do this kind of work or have any suggestions?

I had Corlanes in BC install NECG sights on a 8400 Montana. Quick turnaround and they supplied the parts.

Would you mind posting some pics if you get a minute, would love to see how it turned out

This is all I have from an old phone. I sold the rifle a few years ago. I temper it was a bit hard for me to get a good cheek weld. I really had to squish my face down on the stock.

Try Jason at Gunco in Ottawa. I have had him do a bunch of work for me on English rifles & have always been pleased.

I have a Kimber 84m with irons and I find the same thing. The stock really is intended for scope use. The irons are barely usable, but nice to have as a last resort.

Yeah I would imagine so, kimbers have such high combs for scope use, thanks for posting the pics.

I'll look up Jason as well and see what he says, thanks

Would installing a peep on a scope rail be more usable. I did a couple that scope sits on top of peep

I definitely prefer peep sights, if there was a way I could have a peep that didn't interfere with a scope should I decide to put one on for longer range work that would be ideal, might be a hard pass tho if it involves a big rail on the rifle as I'm not a fan of that look on a slim sporter

You could look at something like Brockman peep that is a part of a talley base. They are hard to find. Or a removable NECG Peep but you’d need a tall front sight. I think their sourdough or partridge front sight insert would work.
