Found a good deal locally on a Mossberg MVP patrol rifle. Love bolt action guns especially if they share the same caliber as other rifles that I have. It has a nice red fiber-optic front sight, but the only thing I'm not crazy about is the rear sight.
I'm a big fan of how the ghost ring sight is employed on the Ruger gunsite scout rifle. The Mossberg is set up fairly similar to the gunsite scout, specifically in how its picatinny rail is set up forward if the action. The Ruger has the ghost ring aft of that, fwiw.
My interest would be in mounting a ghost ring rear site to the rail. My Colt 6920 M4 SA has a magpul MBUS flip up ghost ring that I really like.
So, what do I need to know about adding such an optic? Seems like there are options anywhere from $10 to $200.
FWIW, my main goal with these type of carbines is shooting from a standing position to hit paper or a metal target at 200 yards or less with reasonable accuracy. I like tracking how I shoot, but Ill not be measuring MOA much.
Is this viable, and is it just a matter of measuring the front sight and then using a micrometer to properly install the rear sight to an appropriate height?
Thanks!
