2nd from the left is the PH sight Brian is referring to, the 2nd from the right is a Fazakeley off a No.8

Muffet 2008:

Are you referring to the picture you posted? Correct me if I am in error but the two middle leafs both appear to be L81A1 of P-H manufacturer.

The No8 rifles I have, One Fazakerly and one BSA, both have .22 cal leafs, which have entirely different range markings than the 2 middle leafs you show, and neither have any allowance for windage. The range markings are 25, 50, 100 y and one high mark "H" which is for some kind of special gallery target. The L81A1 sight will not fit without modification.

In so far as I can tell, other than rifles fitted with target sights, all rifles shipped with that sight.

If I am in error please feel free to correct me.

Then after attempting to install the sight after wrecking the rifles, found out that they won't work anyhow.

You still see them around for sale as a special match rifle...target grade...

Frederick, you got me there, the wife is always telling me to put my glasses on.
Here is a pic of the 22 marked sight, this one is as issued, but I have one with the peep machined off and fitted to the base as depicted before.
Here are a couple of other ones for the L81A1 by Alfred Parker, 2 different styles of the Regent.

I like the Regent sight, had a chance to pick one up and didn't, now I regret it.
