Maynard
is this what you mean when you say ladder sight

went on the right site web site and good looking sight
one question in order to use it your rear sight has to be sitting high on the rifle son when putting the front down it reaches to 900 meters or am I missing something?
and what would be a rear sight compatible with this sight and that would fit on a picatinny

My TRG-22 shoots the sierra palma bullets very well. The Sako is unlikely to hold you back....
Also, the Tubb 2000 can be had in .308, so not sure where the comment about it not being had in an appropriate caliber comes from? Or did I misinterpret that?
 
I have seen the Centra front sight. Looks cool but is a PITA to read. The RPA ladder sights are popular, but the 30mm Right Sight from Stalling's Machine seems to be the flavour of the week.
 
right sight

I was sort of thinking of adding match sights to myc 308 Remington to work at as starter TR rifle. Currently I use it for precision/F-class.

What should I be generally budgeting for to get a front and rear (both adjustable) with a front iris?

If you went with used sights ie Central (not Centra) and say an Anshutz front sight body, you might get away with a couple hundred. A front iris can run around $125 or more and a rear iris runs from about $75 to around $250 if you want coloured filters, and diopter. If you want to go whole hog with say a Warner/RPA/Centra rear sight and a front ladder Right Sight expect to spend over a grand:eek: The right sight come with an iris.

Anybody have any comments on the Phoenix Precision rear sight or the Warner ? Compared also to the Centra ?

I have no experience with the Phoenix sight be hear they are cheap aluminum and are crap. Warner's are top notch if you can afford them however I find the scales hard to read without a magnifying class.
 
A top of the line set of irons will rival the price of a good scope. Without question the best rear is a Warner and Warner recommends the Riles for a front and then you still need to buy iris's etc. The Warner design is very simple and works so well because they are all hand fitted by a master machinist. There are several copies of the Warner available with questionable quality. The Warner is available with a vernier and all of them are hard to read depending on your age and eyes. Most guys over forty have a magnifier for this purpose.

By the way if you are looking for a tube gun sort of setup have a look at the Barnard 07 rifle. Easy availability.

Amen Maynard!!

Remember that the Tubb guns are really for across-the-course shooting (a sport not practiced in Canada) , and their caliber choices are not compatible with DCRA/ICFRA TR shooting.

Another alternative is the new Savage Palma rifle. these are built well an only need the sights and sling attachments and you are set.

Bear in mind that the DCRA and most PRAs use military ranges. They own the ranges, they set the danger templates and no amount of civilian influence is going to change the range safety orders. Therefore, 5.56 and 7.62 will always be welcome, wildcats and magnums are going to be scrutinized. Many of Tubbs' rifles are available in this second category of cartridges.

There are Canadian precision rifle makers (PGW in Winnipeg and Armtech in Sherbrooke). Do some research and you'll be surprised at the offerings.
