Skinner Sights

The only thing better than an excellent set of iron sights is one with an adjustable aperture. Skinner Sights, which has an extensive line of aperture irons, now provides even greater precision by offering the Merit Corp.’s No. 4 Hunting Disc “Iris” as a user-replaceable option.

The unit, which measures 1" long and 1/2" in diameter overall, has an aperture that adjusts from 0.022" to 0.156" in diameter simply by rotating its knurled outer ring. Construction is all-steel, and it is blued to match the finish of classic firearms.

MSRP is $65. For more information, please visit skinnersights.com.
