Looking for recommendations for a rear sight... I'm building up an underhammer for Rick W.'s Creedmoor 150 and going to be ordering a rear sight. I will be using a Redfield Olympic or International front sight. (haven't decided which yet)

Left pic is the first rough shape. Right is after a few hours of work.

I have a Lee Shaver’s and like it a Lot. For the price I don’t think you will beat Shaver’s, Lee sells an Economy Grade, and a Super Grade. I Went with his Super, But wouldn’t hesitate to Buy the Economy Grade, I can’t remember what the Difference is now between the Super and Economy? But I remember it was Little/Minor. Shaver’s Told me that the Economy Grade was “ALL the sight that 90 Something % of Shooters could ever Need/Use, They do everything needed”

There are definitely more refined, finer detailed sights available, But they also cost Substantially more. Such as Hoke, Baldwin, MVA, Distant Thunder, and Kelley Soule, Of these i looked SERIOUSLY at the Hoke, and Baldwin, I just about went with one of these, But in the End i saved Money and went with the Shaver’s, it does EVERYTHING these MUCH higher dollar Sights do, Just not as Refined/Finely Detailed.

MVA is the standard by which all other sights are compared to! Nothing (!!) compares to having one of their micrometers on your gun. The most satisfying part of the purchase, is that you "do get" what you pay for with one of there sights!

Kelley's are the most beautiful!!! by far!!! Dave Gullo shoots with this sight....(I like to tease him about it!..lol)

And Shaver's are the most functional "economic" site available, no question!
