different sights for BLR .22

County Boy · 07-21-2009, 06:05 PM

I own a Browning lever action .22 cal. love to shoot the gun real smooth action. I was wondering what's available for sights to put on, as the front bead is very hard to see. Would tru-glo or similiar sights fit on this rifle. This rifle has a pinch rail for the attachment of a scope, but this doesn't look very sturdy to me to attach a scope to. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks

Your Browning is a top-notch gun, but I agree that the factory sights are just adequate at best. I suspect the factory thinks most shooters will scope the gun.

I've had a Bushnell 2.5x scope on my Browning BL22 for many years. The mount is plently solid enough.

if you want, you can go to the Midwayusa.com website, they have a triangle file for cutting dovetails etc.
