ABSTRACT:
This invention is a secondary sighting system to supplement a primary telescopic sight on a rifle. It consists of a pair of sights, one front and one rear, which are off-set to the side of the rifle bore, in a position which allows their instant use, should the primary telescopic sight become inoperable because of internal fogging, snow or rain covered lenses, target moving fast in thick brush, or target being too close to permit proper vision and sighting with scope magnification.
The front sight is a bead type, mounted on a support bar extending to the side from the gun barrel. The rear sight is an open notch type or a peep aperture, or both at one time, mounted on the side of the gun breech. This pair of sights permits a second line of sight aside from the telescope line of sight, parallel to the rifle bore.
The front sight bead support bar is approximately one inch long. It is wedged into the dovetail sight support slot near the rifle muzzle, and extends approximately one-half inch to the side of the barrel. Bullet impact to the left or right is controlled by moving the front sight bead to right or left when the support bar is shifted left or right in the barrel slot.
The rear sight notch, or peep aperture, is mounted on a support plate fastened to the side of the breech, which can be shifted up or down to control bullet impact up or down.
The shooter uses the dual sighted rifle as a telescope sighted gun under all possible shooting conditions. The secondary sights are used when the primary telescopic sight becomes inoperable.
