sight for CFX

[plateshooter]

Anyone know of an adjustable receiver (peep)  sight that will attach to the scope rail of a CFX and work with the original front sight?

Thanks

Good question David.. With the front muzzle brake being so fat on the factory brake, you may have a hard time finding one that will work. But with a smaller O/D muzzle brake you may have a chance...

I would think that the Beeman (Williams) dovetail peep sight would work, either on the rail or on the receiver dovetails.

Yep, you are probably right on that Stephanie, and the next step is to purchase one to find out..

Thanks for the reply Gene.  I see what you mean.  I thought I saw a post from you about making a break that uses a front sight.  Is that available, and how much lower is the sight with that break?  

Thanks

I would say about a 1/4" , David. That would be my guess. You may still be able to get by with the Williams peep, that Stephanie mentioned. She knows here stuff buddy.. I certainly would not want to get into a tongue lashing contest with her.. hehe.. If you can get by with the factory brake with that peep sight, that would be a good thing. As far as putting the sights on my muzzle brakes, that I have not done yet.. I do know the degree of dove cut that Gamo uses on there sites and just need to buy the end mill tool to do the cuts. That way a person could just put there old sights on my muzzle brake when they get them. For all other air rifles I have not seen everyone of them but I have bought a lazer light in order to align the front site on a muzzle brake so it will be true with the rear sight..

Thanks again for the replies, I will try to find the Wms sight and see if there are enough specs listed to see if it will work.  I tried the Wms Gunsite page but it just got stuck and would not download the information.  I will keep looking though.

The Beeman sight is available for sale on a number of AG sites, Staightshooters, Pyramid, etc. Brownells sells it, I'm sure, and their site may have better info, maybe specs............

Thanks Stephanie, I appreciate the additional information.  I will be checking deeper into it.

I have a Chinese made peep sight (sold under many brands, including Gamo I believe) which I used on an XS 78. When I tried it on the CFX, I found that due to the extra height of the scope rail, I could not lower the sight sufficiently. Don't forget, the standard rear iron sight of the CFX fits straight onto the receiver. Check out before you buy!
