Ruger #1 - aftermarket iron sights

[Ahsan Ahmed]

Looking for insight on what aftermarket options are available today in terms of quality rear sights (preferably flip ups) for use on that rifle.

I'm thinking of getting one in 7mm Mauser but don't like the factory rear sight. I would really like the type of rear sight (with a square notch) that are found on the Sako/Tikka.

Also, wondering if anyone here has installed (on their #1) something similar from NECG?

Thanks,

I don't know if you are interested only in open sights, but I have the NECG aperture on my #1 in .375H&H. I originally bought it to use as a back-up to a scope, but I like it so much that I just leave it on all the time. It's not the easiest to sight-in, certainly not something that you want to use if you change loads or zeroes a lot, but if you just want to set it once for one load and zero it's very nice. It looks very appropriate on a #1.

I have the same sight on my #1 .45/70
It's zeroed for 405 grain cast bullets at 1400 fps at 50 yds
