Ruger 10/22

Bought a new ruger and not really impressed with th sights
I am thinking about Williams firesights but not sure which style
Receiver peep or u style in original location
The gun is mostly a plinker and also gonna go for rabbits and squirrels
Would like decent accuracy but the eyes are getting older
Never shot with peep sights so I'm confused

Aperture sights are a big step up from standard open sights, much faster, easier to use and more accurate. If I have a choice, I will always choose apertures over open sights. A decent red dot or low power scope is also a good option for quick shots and makes it even easier on your eyes.

I've heard great things about the Tech sights. I too highly recommend peep sights over open - especially if you're eyes are getting older (I said nothing about you, just your eyes!) :p

I now run all of my rifles with peep sights and will not go back to open. The difference in speed, visibility and accuracy are amazing.
 
Tech sights (via Hi-cal!) are the best option I've tried. (Tech sights, Williams, and Skinner)

The tapered front post draws the eye to the target, and the aperture is small enough to promote precision without being so tiny that it can't be used in less than perfect light. And you can buy the extra aperture kit if you need to.

They are easy to install, sturdy, and maximize the sighting radius. They look a bit clunky, but most receiver sights except the Skinner do as well.
(a few details:
Skinner: Sleek and simple but tricky to adjust. Windage adjustment is all with the front sight. Works with factory sight blade, more or less.
Williams: adjustment is a pain. Needs a higher front sight. Seems sturdy. Interchangeable apertures. Can be used with various designs of front sight blade. Not bad, just not as nice as the Tech sights)
 
Gotta agree with analemma

I have Tech on one and Williams on the other (both SS-synth 10-22s).

I love the tech's adjustability. Shoulda got the adjustment tool when I bought the sights...from hical. I would urge them to make that recommendation to their future customers ;) The sight picture is clear and centering is very intuitive with the three 'prongs' falling right into place through the rear peep.

The Williams are great on overcast days, though. My only complaint is that the front kinda disappears in bright sunlight. And they lack a locking incremental adjustment. But I like the rear peep's 'tunnel' because it shades the aperture and keeps it prominent in the peripheral.

It's a toss up for me. I like em both but I'd give the edge to the tech just because of that adjustablility factor...even though I've never had to adjust them once I got them sighted for 100yd. One could stretch the range out a bit with a better rifle than the 10-22. And the tech runs away with it in that case.
