Singlepoint sights

[Benelli B76]

Those of us who were young men in the 70's may remember this sight system. Some thought they were good for following moving targets like running wild pigs when I was in South Africa. Have they any value to collectors today? One is for rifle and the other for shotgun with larger red dot.

They are worth quite a bit. Mostly because Star Wars enthusiasts use them on dummy “blasters” modelled on those from the films.

They look in good condition and probably fetch a couple of hundred each on the auction site, I got £180 each for mine and they where unboxed and not as good condition..

[Benelli B76]

Wow, that is a surprise. Thanks for the info guys, was thinking I would have to list them on Facebook market at a fiver each.

Bu**er... I had one on an air rifle for a while back in the 70s... didn't get on with it and gave it away.!!!

If you list them on fleabay and sell them to a buyer in America, the home guard, customs to you and I snap the dome off them to make sure there's nothing hidden inside the unit.

Had one on a semi auto rim fire back in the day. The dot seemed to be about the size of a football at 50m, didn’t think it was good for anything so it went in the bin. What a mistake to make

Until Hakko brought out their red dots they were the only viable option, they saw a fair bit of military use both official and unofficial. I’ve got one with a green dot. Hens teeth

Bit of info here.

I sold a generic 1970's Jap cheap scope on the bayofdreams a few years ago (ASI ?).......anyway, I thought it may make 10-15 quid, but it went for over £80 I recall......I have never seen a single Star Wars film so had no idea someone out there wanted it badly to go on a toy gun

Get them gone......sell them as "Blaster Sights" or whatever.


Just looked and one sold recently on the 25th August for £180, it was listed as a Star Wars Single Point to give you an idea

I'd have said boxed as these are £250 each...

Love to have a decent scan of that brochure before you move it on if at all possible?

Good luck, probably a nice rifle there

First one I listed just sold for £200 in 5 minutes. Think it was too cheap. I will try a different tack on the second one. I will try to get colour copies of the pamphlet as they are huge when unfolded. Had a good week selling, just started Facebook Market, sold 2 bikes, chainsaw and TV in a couple of days. Better that that horrible bay, people pitch up and collect.

Well done, Bet your glad you asked for a valuation now, Would have been a pity to sell them for a fiver each. Good luck with the other one for sale.. Col.

[Benelli B76]

Just checked the one I have left it is brand new, think I may keep it. Only got bottom half of box, and now a new leaflet to go with it.
