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 (.090, .100, .110 & .120”) 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 inserts in the most popular sizes, .100, .110, .120, and .130” inside diameters with a .060” wide annulus. The heavier annulus allows for better sight definition and does not tend to blur out like thin wire inserts can. Instead of the 4 lollypop inserts, you can to specify any number of custom inserts, for just the difference in price from the lollypops.

Substitutions are welcome; please look over my custom insert samples and prices.
Also, please specify mid-range (200-800 yards) or long-range (800-1200 yards).
Long-Range Tang Sight
The Distant Thunder long-range tang sight has plenty of elevation for creedmoor matches and 35 minutes of windage on each side of zero. It is very sturdy with no play in the windage slide. It has a 1 minute vernier for both elevation and windage, and also has 1/2 minute index marks on the elevation and windage knobs. This sight is fully machined bar stock, with the major components made of 4140 steel, heat-treated for durability and wear.
Long-range…$415 plus $11.30 shipping
Mid-range……not available at present
Custom Sights and Inserts
Custom sights are available, such as the one to the left. Height can be whatever is required, up to 1.250" from the bottom of the dovetail to the center line of the globe, and the cost is $175 plus $8.25 shipping (allow two weeks as these are custom-made). This is just one example; tell me your needs.
I am also making custom inserts for other types of front sights including Distant Thunder, Baldwin, Pedersoli, MVA, Parts Unknown, Lyman 17A, Lee Shaver, Redfield and Tompkins.
I can make just about any size, shape or configuration of insert to meet your needs on a custom basis. Contact me for a quote.
