The Omega doesn't use a dovetail, and it looks the Tru-Glow does.





Here it is perched on the barrel of my Omega.

Ok, I see how it works now.

Thanks Ron.


I'm still waiting to see if the DOW will give me a special permit to use a scope because of my eyesight. If they say no, i'll use the Tru-Glow sights.
I'm hoping they will though. Even if I can see the sights better. I still can't see the target.

Thanks Ron, thats a great picture. That gives a lot better idea how it works. So they say if it dosn't sit on your barrel true, take a dowl a little smaller than your barrel and wrap it with 600 gritt paper and carefully sand the bottom of the sight till it fits.

I think you might change your mind about that sight when you check out my MK-85 sight.

I came across one of your posts where you had dropped a deer at some hellashishly long distance, can't remember how far but out past 160 yards, so I bet your right.

That is the sight FG uses with good results. he has the globe front with the rear sights mounted where the factory sight were. my question is,can the rear ghost ring be mounted further like most conventional peep sights. Ray

I know it mounts in the scope holes in the Omega. That's much better for a peep.

That's what i was wondering. Jon has his mounted where the factory rear sights were. seems to me would be much better moved as far back as possible, to the rear most scope base holes.are yours set as far back as possible and what are your impressions of the sights? Ray

I didn't mean to say I had the sights. I just knew where they mounted.
