I am seriously considering putting a set of these sights on my 10/22. Anybody used these and if so which set is best? the 100 or 200 series. They look well made.I am leaning toward the 100 series with the flipable apatures.

I have hundreds of dollars into my 10/22 in accessories, and this was the single best investment I made.
I went with the 100 series sights and I'm pretty pleased with them. I don't change windage or elevation that much, and they're pretty simple and rugged.
One thing I did do was replace the A1 aperture with an A2 style. The stock aperture has 2 holes that are the same size, and the A2 gives me a bigger aperture for hunting in low light conditions as well as a smaller aperture for precision shooting.
While I had the adjustment drum off I went ahead and replaced it with a knob.

The one I have has a much smaller aperture than the one pictured above.... I like them and would buy more... the one problem I've had with them is the metal is shiny on mine and there is a glare if out in the sunlight.

True shot techbology makes a nice sight too... I have the see thru model but i wud prefer their regulqr aight to tech due to apperance of being level to the gun with no gap in the rear.

Both parts are DPMS AR-15 components sourced from MidwayUSA.
The new knob is this part:

You'll need a 1/16" punch and maybe a set of gunsmithing screwdrivers to do the job. I have the screwdriver tips, and I think they make all firearms work easier and preserve the appearance of the guns I work on.

I just shot an appleseed this weekend with my 10/22 with Tech Sights and they were great. I would not have attempted it with the factory sights. The 100 should be sufficient, how often do you need to make elevation adjustments with a 22 anyway?
How'd you like the Appleseed Captains1911?
I've done it twice... a lot harder than I thought both times.... too old and fat to squat and lay comfortably for it.

Got my Tech-Sights today and installed them tonight. Can't wait to get to the range and the appleseed deal looks like a lot of fun!...More laterwilliamc

Everyone who owns a 10/22 (heck, a rifle!) owes it to themselves to attend an Appleseed. I stopped wondering about my stock barrel's accuracy once I learned to shoot it.
I hear you blume...a big gut makes the sitting position much more difficult!

I have tried to find small competitions in the area but i can find none... have found a few archery comps but not any firearms comps that are open to public... the gun clubs hold theirs.
where is a good place to start looking? dont really know anybody close to me that is into shooting or with knowledge of such comps.

I had a great time, discovered I have a few things to work on, and learned more than I could have imagined. I'm already planning my next one. I recommend it to anybody with interest in rifle shooting.

Hi guys. I saw this post and had to register, though I have the NDS Sights I use to have the Tech-Sights, either case I had a question about this post. How does the stock style M-16 knob allow you to move past the detents? Can you tell when you've hit a detent or does it just move freely now? How does it stay on? Just screw on like the TS systems little disc? I really like the idea of being able to adjust my sights without getting out a tool every time!
