    Parker Hale tunnel sight inserts

    Good afternoon.
    I recently purchased some matchmaker inserts for my Parker Hale 1200TX from eBay.
    The inserts fit the sight...but only upside down...which make them awkward (for me at least) to use.
    Are there different inserts out there for my gun?
    Cheers
    John

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    John,
    It depends what foresight tube you have; typically there are 15mm & 17mm inserts available plus various smallbore types by the likes of Anschutz etc.

    Does the foresight tube have a name on it?

    It's a PH foresight using 17mm inserts. The problem is the inserts I bought fit...but upside down...so the 'bar' holding the actual 'hole' comes from the top of the foresight...not the bottom as is usual..
    Cheers
