Fiber-Optic Sites

[Hurryin Hoosier]

Can fiber-optic front and rear sites (ala the Mark II FSS) be purchased and installed on a Mark II G? Or would I be better off dabbing on a little white paint with a tooth-pick? :-\

certain fiber optic companies have and adapter to put in the dove tail, then attach the sights to the adapter. the front sights on the savage are a bear to get out.

i'd probably get (for the same or less $ than the fiber optics) brite sight paint, http://www.brightsights.com/index.shtml
works great, and all you need is a little. you'll have anough to last a lifetime.

if you go the paint way, i like to indent the rear sight alittle either with a punch (be carefull not to bend it to hell) or just touch it with a drill bit to give it a recessed area for the paint to sit in and stay protected. alittle clear paint over it works well to protect it also.

Sounds like a good tip. Thanks!
