I sell the Singer Mk1 800yd sights complete with spring plunger & cross pin for £40 for the 1300yd sight the price is £60.00. However I have seen them cheaper and also a great deal more. If I remember a Savage marked one once sold on e-bay for around £275, obviously someone really wanted that one.....
No, not specifically… I try and top all my No4 with micrometer sights. I still have one with the 300/600 sight.
Why ?
If they are not fitted with a Mk1 sight why not put a No5 sight on the rifle ?
The No4 (Mk1 1300 yd sight) gives approximately 1 MoA clicks, but if you put a No5 (800 yd sight) onto a No4 it gives you approximately 1/2 MoA clicks so much better, finer. adjustment.
From an old post by "Parashooter"
" ................At least on these two examples (original sights), there appears to be a difference in screw diameter and pitch. Given the slightly coarser thread on the 800-yard sight, the "click value" would be some 10% greater than the 1300-yard sight if both were mounted on rifles with the same sight radius - except for the fact that the 1300-yard elevation screw is double-threaded, giving it an effective pitch approximately double that of the single-thread 800-yard screw.
On measuring the two sights shown, each click of the No.4's sight moves the slide .008" - vs. .0043" on the No.5's sight. Consequently, the 1300-yard sight gives very close to 1.0 MOA per click with the No.4 rifle's 28" sight radius while the 800-yard sight has a click value of ~0.66 MOA with the No.5's 23" sight radius and would yield ~0.55 MOA on a No.4 rifle. (Pretty much what Maxwell Smart reports in post #17 on this thread.) ................."

Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
