The Distant Thunder sight is made with the level inside the globe to help prevent glare and can be ordered with a set of 4 standard inserts in the most popular sizes (.100, .110, .120 & .130”) or with a set of custom inserts at additional cost. There is a setscrew in the dovetail to lock the sight in place.
A unique feature of the Distant Thunder sight is that the sight globe is angled to allow the shooter to look straight through the globe at longer ranges. With other sights the globe sits parallel to the barrel and as the rear sight is raised for long range shooting the front sight becomes elliptical. This reduces the field of view and the amount of light passing through to your eye. You also see the top of the globe on other sights, which can cause problems with glare under sunny conditions. The Distant Thunder sight reduces these problems and optimizes the sight picture at longer ranges.
Two models are available: the mid-range (200-800 yards) and the long-range (800-1200 yards). Both are made for 3/8”, 7/16” and .450” dovetails. I can also make to fit other size dovetails or at custom angles.
Each Distant Thunder sight comes with 4 lollypop style inserts in the most popular sizes, .100, .110, .120, and .130” inside diameters with a .060” wide annulus. The heavier annulus allow for better sight definition and does not tend to blur out like other thin wire inserts can.
