Hi,
I've recently bought a pile of seventies and eighties Airgun World magazines. Tons of inspiration, but also dangerous:
I find myself longing for all kinds of cool stuff.
This Milbro diopter is a great idea for an Innova.
If someone would like to sell his to me... that would be great!

I am looking to put a peep on my Sharp Ace. I think it would be fun/interesting to use a pumper with a peep sight.
There is the AirArms/Gamo ones available for about £40 and cheaper Chinese ones for a little less. Other than that there are other more age appropriate and better quality items available but at a quality/collectable premium.
On a slight tangent, does anyone know if the HW77 sight base fits on a Sharp Aces rail?
Rich.

This begs the question, What is the difference between Peep, Aperture and Diopter sights.
The answer is actually no difference. Peep is the USA term, Aperture is the British term and Diopter is the continental (mainly German) term. I do wish people in the UK would speak and write in English
So I was right calling it a diopter then, being a Dutchie
I bought the Gamo diopter, as it looks similar to the one on the magazine cover, and that's the style I am looking for. Not too expensive, should be fine.
Thank you Rich for the tip.
@Ian, that Williams aperture sight looks good too.

A few of the Milbro sights have been offered for sale at arms fairs (prior to lockdown) and I was lucky to obtain a boxed 1970s example at Birmingham and then a boxed 1980s one turned up at Kempton for £35!
I remember when you could buy them for under a tenner through magazine adverts - showing my age there.

There you go Louis.

I'm planning to feature Milbro sighting systems in a future issue of Airgun World and will include the G31 Aperture Sight.
Kind regards,
John
