I came across a tang sight while looking through a box of parts recently, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of rifle it's meant for. The hole spacing in the base is 1.53" (39mm) ctc. The leaf is graduated from 0 to 175 yards (meters?). What's odd about it though, is that when it locks in the upright position the leaf is at about a 45 degree angle to the base, whereas most tang sights seem to be closer to a 60 degree angle. If you were to mount this sight to a gun with an "normal" tang/wrist angle, the sight ends up looking down at the top of the receiver. After much Googling I am still at a loss. Any ideas?    Thanks in advance! Doug |

Might work for a Pedersoli rolling block, or similar?

Thanks in advance! Doug ***** Looks to be of modern manufacture. I have seen, and could not understand, Venier sights which lacked a detent to index in raised position. Perhaps the intent was for a detent to be filed after the sight was installed, to assure verticality. The hash marks probably are for reference in sighting, and do not subtend yardage.
