Title: Green front fiber
Post by: usmc74 on July 28, 2013, 08:49:00 PM: I installed the "sabotloader" sight set up on my bighorn. I would like to get the green fiber optic for the front. Is there a complete front avail, or do I change the rod somehow?

For my "old" eyes, the green shows up WAY better at first light and dusk than the red does

:yeah: Also, Sportsmans carrys a 4 pack of replacements, but there is different diameters so what they carry may or may not work for you.

yes, I use the hood. I bought a green sight earlier, but I didn't want to mess up my aim, so only changed the rod. GTG

I was looking at doing the same but changing from a green fiber to red. My green just doesn't seam to have the brightness I would like. I cant say red will be better up I am trying.
