Interesting Rear Sight
Winter Hawk:
Anyone know what this hole is for? This is from an ad for a rifle on another site. The fellow had another rifle with the same type of rear sight but didn't know anything about it.

Ohio Joe:
I don't recall seeing anything like that, but I do wonder if it's a type of target sight, like something that might be found on a Chunk Gun for channeling the front sight through for a better sight picture on one's "spotter" target?
LongWalker:
Yep. The idea is that the double notches (one on either side of the hole) eliminates reflection and light scatter, so all you see is a sharp-edged notch. More of a chunk gun or squirrel rifle sight, but you see them once in a while on other rifles.
Winter Hawk:
Thank you! Learn something new every day over here!

Jim in Wisconsin:
Are the two notches different widths? It looks like they are (I think). Which way is front?
