165 with a .22 I'd like to hear more about this!

Hoping I can make it past 200. Takes almost 20 moa of dial to get on at 165. I think I have enough dial to make it to 200 or just passed.

Sorry, but that's just silly. Why handicap yourself? Especially if it does not have iron sights. There are plenty of cheap 22s out there with iron sites, probably would cost less than having a smith put irons on yours. :twocents:

Unless you can find parts to fit it. Try here for an older gun. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ (http://www.gunpartscorp.com/)

Then open sights it is-

If you can't figure out what sights you want, we would need the make and model of gun to get the correct fit.
Or you could take it to your local gunsmith for ideas.

And yep, if you want the original sights- check out http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ (http://www.gunpartscorp.com/) Numrich - "The worlds largest supplier of firearms parts and accessories"

These sites are chocked full of gun sights to check out.
