    From reading old Airgun Worlds recently the open sights were an optional extra and this is shown in advert pages, so you're not gonna pick them up easily.
    Nice things happen to nice people.

    Try the Sportsmatch mount with the extended rear, it suits Airsporters and Mercurys especially. I think it's the OP12C but not certain ?
    I use one of these with a period Japanese 4x32 Tasco on my RB2 .22 Stutzen and I like it !

    Similar set up on my Mk5, with the Sportsmatch mount and a period Bushnell 6x32.

    Knibbs appears to sell the rear sight (which I think is a Williams of some kind). Or you could use a Williams receiver sight.

    Isn't the front sight the standard Airsporter/Scorpion/Mercury/etc one? That shouldn't be hard to track down.

    Knibbs are out of stock on the rearsight, if anyone has any leads on one, please let me know, I will give it a go open sighted.



    Cheers!
    Thanks - Geoff.

    This is how the scope on my Stutzen RB2 is mounted. I don't know who adapted this mount but I have a spare!

    Yep, Someone ground the rear part to make it reachback instead of a standard one piece!!

    I recently bough a steel Apel reachback mount for one of my Airsporters or Mercury, Still haven't gotten round to fitting it yet so can't include a pic..

    The Raised Maxi grip rails on the Stutzen, Superstar and certain other Beesas are actually a 14mm mount, I had two Lightnings and both came with the wrong mounts as they were standard and I couldn't adjust the windage enough (T'was fully 5" wide to the right with full left adjustment!!)


    Found a pic of the Apel but not fitted to a gun!


    I bought these mounts some years ago that were made in Ozzie land, They can be centred for windage but aren't reachback so don't really help much

    I actually bought a reach back two piece Sportsmatch mount set a few weeks ago, Can't remember what I did with it, Looked through my pics and it doesn't seem to be on any of my guns
