I bought an Anschutz adapter that fits the European rear dove tail and will allow the use of Redfield type sights.. I haven't used it on an air rifle yet but have used it on my Tikka T1X rimfire.

Rear peep sights
- Thread starter josh3rd
- Start date
Maybe drop back to 10m and draw a cross . Work on your hold(sholdering) you hold (sights on aim point) and trigger pull with follow through.
With mine you can see long range and 10m is pretty close to same then at 10 its easy to make any adjustments then if you can drill the center at 10m move out 10 to 20. I do this " windage check" most time before i shoot or if i do my screw check and had to adjust one .. if you get proficient at 10m the rest goes easier. 10m is a good starting point to eork out all your bugs and all.
Supposed to be 1 click is 1/10mm at 10m.. fyi
Went back and still had to go one more click left.. if there was a prize for just off to the right id win everytime . 10m 5 just right then 5- 1 click left.

1BadDart, can you explain or show how you mounted sights onto your Tikka T1X please? I've been searching a long time for a solution. Thanks much!

Here's 15yds results from 2 different types of support holds. One is T+I (thumb and index finger), is where I place the forearm of the rifle between my thumb and index finger in that webbing.
2nd is using my fist and the forearm is resting kind of on the index and middle finger knuckles kind of.
Not bad at all without a peep sight but nonetheless you can see how springers do so different when it comes to different holds but one thing for certain two things for sure it seem it loves 8 and 10 fingers away from the trigger guard using my fist. The next picture I want to post probably today or tomorrow is going to be 4 6 8 10 and 12 fingers away from the trigger guard which is sitting on the palm of my hand while I'm sitting Indian style and just for the record every picture I posted so far has been me sitting Indian style or sitting on a metal tin wash bucket type thing and having my elbow on my knee and shooting that way.
