What are the best iron sights for a Rem 700
Hi there,
I have a Remington 700 XCR 2 in 375 H&H, which I really love, but I absolutely despise the factory iron sights that are mounted on the rifle ...
The rifle is scoped on QD mounts, and I'm wanting to replace the rear sight (as a backup to optics) with an after market offering that will make target acquisition quicker and easier ...
Do any of you know what after market open sight options are available ... I've googled, but haven't found anything suitable.

Williams makes fiber optic sights for Remingtons

Re: What are the best iron sights for a Rem 700
What are the current sight? I had some Lymans (came off a Musgrave Mini90 223) fitted to my Howa 338. They work pretty well. Irons seem to be a rarity these days. I really like the set that come with the Ruger African and No1's but could source any.

They are just the standard Remington sights, but I just don't like them ... They're so difficult to pick up and to center ...
I've ordered a set of the Williams Fire Sights ... I'll let you know how they go once I receive them.
