Adjustable Rear Sight Base

A modern, accurate bolt-action or semi-automatic rifle that has a Picatinny or Weaver rail atop its receiver can benefit from an old-school match sight such as the Redfield Palma, and the Medesha Elevation-Adjustable Rear Sight Base is just the ticket for mounting it.

Precision-crafted from hard-anodized aluminum, the base features a clamping mount secured by stainless-steel, socket-head screws and a sideplate that mates to the mount with longitudinal grooves that allow the latter’s rail to be set in 5-m.o.a. increments over the boreline. The sideplate, which secures to the mount with stainless-steel, button-head screws, can also be flipped for gross adjustments.

The rear sight base from Medesha FireArms costs $60 retail. For more information, please visit medeshafirearms.com.

Review: Bushmaster V-Radicator

The business of dispatching unwanted critters requires a platform capable of a high degree of accuracy. Nuisance animals such as prairie dogs are both small and skittish in nature, meaning that they tend to keep their distance and scurry away upon the arrival of incoming fire.
