The first thing you need to ask yourself is how much you're willing to spend. There are a ton of good sights out there that will do the job nicely for you. I personally love my Spot Hogg Hunter Hogg-it. I've been using the same sight for 3 years now and have no regrets on the investment. These sights will honestly outlast any other equipement you'll own.

But the Hoggs are pricey. Expect to pay 100.00 and up for most of their line of sights. If thats not what you had in mind, I'd highly suggest looking at Copper John sights. They're very well built and at about half the cost of a Spot Hogg.

These are only two that come to mind if you're looking for a no nonsense, rugged sight. There are so many out there. My advice would be to go to a shop or two that carries a lot of them and look them over and decide.

For under 100, my RT900 served me well. Sportsmenwarehouse had the RT1000 on sale for 70. Get the 0.019 pin.
