XS SIGHT SYSTEMS - Rifle Weaver Backup Base .225" Ghost Ring Black

Hello Brothers and Sisters, I was looking for a ghost ring or peep sight to mount on an aluminum picatinny rail that I previously affixed to the 11mm dovetail on a Weihrauch HW77 .22 underlever spring piston airgun. I saw this one and figured that I would give it a try. After receiving the WB-2000N-L Low Weaver Backup Ghost Ring I attempted to install it. The sight is steel and well made. The rear of this sight has to hang down off of the back of the rail and in the case of my picatinny rail I had to trim the rear of my rail by approximately 1/16" so that the rear of this sight could hang down there. My rail was not milspec so you may have different results. It appears that if you have very close to 0.5" from the rear of your rail to the center of the first slot you should not have to modify your rail for this to fit. The sight had to be made with the rear hanging off the back of your rail so that the ghost ring itself would be low enough to match your front sight but still be easily and widely adjustable for windage and elevation. I like the adjustment methods and it includes an extra ghost ring of slightly smaller dimensions.

I have a Marlin 1895GS in 45-70 that I installed 2 piece Warne bases onto when I remove the scope to use the rifle for wild animal defense while prospecting/camping I quickly/easily install this XS low Weaver backup unit.I am rough on my stuff and have not had a single issue with this sight getting banged around.I also find the XS ghost ring sights to be extremely quick to use and very accurate shooting from a rest I can repeatedly group 5 350gr Swift A-frames into 6" @ 150 yards with this set.I am now looking at modifying the scope bases on a Rem 700 LSS in 375 Rem Ultra Mag to accept these sights.In other word yes I will be buying another one of these sights... :)

The low Weaver backup model will not readily work on a Savage 111 accutrigger model, the sight is thicker than the Weaver base for a Savage, so the overhang of the sight contacts the rifle's receiver. Not sure why Weaver bases are thinner for a Savage. Looking at Picatinny rail or shims, also possible Warne bases are thicker than Weaver. I have a XS set on a Marlin 45-70 and they are excellent.
