Skinner Lo-Pro for 10/22

Originally posted in 'General Firearms' but I think it's more applicable here

I received my Lo-Pro sight today ($37), blued and with the regular and fine apertures. It fits the factory drilled and tapped holes (6-48) so you just screw it down far enough so that it doesn't interfere with the bolt and lock it down with the locking ring that has an O-ring underneath so it does not scratch your receiver.

It is adjustable for elevation by screwing the stem CW or CCW. Windage is changed by tapping the front sight.

It's simplistic but works very well. It sits very low to the receiver as well.

It comes supplied with a .096'' aperture that can be removed for a .200'' ghost ring. I also purchased the 0.04'' aperture for target work ($11).

I recommend this as a inexpensive alternative to the Tech Sights that is made of machined steel and Made in the USA.

Tested out the sight at 20 yards. Worked fine with the factory front sight and did not need to adjust for windage.

Skinners are great.
I picked up a barrel mount for my Stevens 300 trapper and it's been awesome.

Do you have pics of that barrel mount? I'm thinking of one for my Mauser. Do you find the long eye relief detracts from the aperture sight concept?

I tested again at 25 yards, and the windage was spot on, but elevation will need to be shifted lower by about 1-1.5''. I just spent about 30 minutes sanding the sight stem down by 2-3 threads and now it sits flush with the receiver and should fix my elevation. It's much sturdier now as less stem is exposed and majority is covered by the beefy lock ring.

Andy replied to my question regarding MOA per full turn and it's about 1 1/2 MOA
