I want to add a high-visibility post style front sight and a ghost ring rear sight to my Ruger 10/22. What I really want is the Ashley Ghost Ring sight set, but that is $90, which is more than I want to put into the rifle.
Exploring lower-cost options in the Brownells catalog reveals a "Zepher Aperture Sight System" for the 10/22 that costs about $36. It has a nice looking receiver sight with protective ears. Has anyone tried this setup? The aperture is listed as only 0.054" diameter, which is much smaller than what I want. Does the sight have an aperture insert that can be removed to convert it into a ghost ring, as is commonly done on some other types of receiver sights?
Another option I am considering is a Williams Guide Receiver Sight ($31) with an Ashley front post ($30). I am pretty sure that the aperture insert can be removed from the WGRS leaving a ghost ring. Correct? Anybody tried this combination on a 10/22? If so, were you happy with the Williams sight? What height front sight did you use?
Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!
