Williams new fiberoptic globe?

[txhunter58]

Anyone seen this yet? I absolutely loved the old Tru-Glo fiberoptic front sight. Seems to be an attempt to copy that. The original was a wrapped fineroptic and was almost glow in the dark. This one may not be as good in low light but looks intriguing. And replacement fiber optic posts are just $14

Opinions?

Most everything I have read about it - it is not good in low light. Some guys have even gone in and painted the inserts to try to get them to light up in low light. I do not have any personal experience with the front sight,

 

[txhunter58]

Not the same front sight. Seems to be brand new. This one is fiberoptic!

Anyone know it this would indicate if it would fit a knight LRH?

FINALLY, Williams has Listened to All the Customer Requests. Friends & I have been Modifying Hoods (Open Top) to Protect those Delicate Fiberoptic Rods. Should be a Great Set Up for Dark Timber Elk.

And when you break one (or stops being as bright) they are easily and cheaply replaced.

My only question is are they bright enough? I may order one and see what I think.

The globe on the front almost gives it a scope appearance. Easier to center the front sight the same every time.

Yep! agree that really could be a BIG step forward, especially with the green optic and the hood that allows light gathering!

I really believe they will work great!!!!

Im definitely ordering a couple of those inserts.

I really like that, its something to consider puttin on the TC High Plains Sporter project

Now my only question is whether I need to order the complete set. The fiberoptic in front t looks tall. Maybe the rear peep is taller than normal as well?

Don’t think these inserts would fit a standard front Globe, I would suggest calling them and asking.

 

[txhunter58]

Called and talked to Williams. He said rear peep is taller than the original rear peep, so needs to be ordered as a set or will run out of adjustment with the rear peep. Dang I was hoping to just order the front.

 

[txhunter58]

Ordered a set. Tried to order an extra insert but were sold out. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut!

Will they Sell just the Globe Front? Would like to just use a Shim / Spacer on the Existing Rear.
Also, do they Only use (1) of the Front Sight Ramp Screws on the Rem 700?

You are right they are Selling these Out Quickly!

Not sure about the screw. Can call them at 800-530-9028 Extension 511

 

[trickyricky]

Wonder if you could use this with a Lyman 57 SME on the rear?

Ive set an alert for this when it’s back in stock. Shoulda ordered it right away

 

[Utah400elk]

I have two of them. They are really big! the sights are very bright and the fiber optic insert is small. They should be good and I will report back after a range session today. I needed to order the complete set for my CVA. the rear ramp I had was much shorter than the new one. FWIW

 

[txhunter58]

All sounds good if the insert is sturdy. I do want an extra insert just in case.

 

[txhunter58]

That was the problem with the Tru-Glo. Awesome sight but the fiberoptic kept breaking.
