perfection - at what a price
It has long been our goal to manufacture a precision rearsight designed to enter the market at as little money as possible. Due to the standards
we set ourselves and the costs involved in high quality precision engineering - we were always fighting an uphill battle. Fortunately for us, over
time, world engineering machinery has improved markedly and the cost of those machines reduced due to competitive world markets. This made
it possible for us to consider how best we might bring the two together in order to achieve our goal.
We decided to keep manufacture local, utilise materials and engineering techniques at as little on-cost as possible and so have worked both
together to come up with our brand new 590 sight above.
Extremely adaptable for all target rifle shootings whether in the garden, on the farm, down at the club or at international competition. It has a
remarkable 1.5mm bullet shift at 50 metres for every click of the big elevation and windage knobs, the iris thread is universal and permanently
held in a controlled position by a powerfully loaded diagonal spring and piston. The base is as short as we can get it whilst ensuring it remains
strong enough to be a solid platform - and the clamping crossscrews of stainless steel give a lifetime`s service. External and internal finishes are
non-reflective matt black both for practicality and aesthetic appeal.
If this fits your type of shooting, you want highest precision but not at the highest price, this is for you. Ask your dealer !
595 lockable rearsight unit - black
• all rearsights suffer from backlash on their threads over time and with
use which originally arose at manufacture through machining tolerances.
This allows positional movement of the moving surfaces carrying the
iris thread hole and gives rise to its positional movement which directly
affects accuracy at each shot - this is exacerbated by further thread
micro-movements induced by the action of the rifle which increases this
effect, producing erratic and unwanted scores
• our patent introduced the unique feature of making a sight lockable,
so that once set in position it stays that way. This remains the case
throughout the full range of elevation and windage adjustments
• now using larger stainless rods between the moving surfaces and
25% larger base rail clamps for grip - the sight is even better
• once elevation and windage are adjusted the lever is rotated until
the sight body is locked maintaining your settings permanently
in place
• precision machined from solid aluminium and not using casting
• attractively anodised for prolonged weather protection
• front and rear threading allows use of an iris on the eye side
and an anti-glare tube on the front side
• micro-precision adjustment gives
1.5mm bullet shift per click at 50m
• individually numbered
