Can anyone give me info on the Gehmann crossover rearsight prism? Im trying to find out if it works with an anschutz sight (7002),as the setup is expensive its a lot of loot to outlay to find its not compatable. cheers,Graeme S.

I haven't seen the beastie which you refer but if its anything like their other products, you specify what sight unit you are going to fit it on and they will supply accordingly.
The other option if you want to cater for using the other eye (left eye for RH shooter etc), there are devices available for extending the sights sideways but as always at a price
cheers Grumpy

Hi Graeme,

I gather you've spoken to Neil Kinsey?
I know he's NZ agent for Gehmann jackets (still waiting for mine).
I would assume he'd have all the relevant data you need.

Have you considered the system that offsets the sight to one side. It has a piece that moves the front sight over and a piece that moves the back sight over. It is sort of like a platform with Vees top and bottom....if you get my drift..

I presume that is what you want the prism system for.???

The outrigger system is better - Graeme Vallance at nelson uses one. I have tried the prisim and to be effective it must be locked tight and is temperamental to set. Also it is useless for outdoor as you cannot see the flags

Thanks for the info,but what did you do with the crossover prism after you tried it? Probably what I mean is does anyone out there have one available to trial. cheers,Graeme Simpson, Wanganui.

I used a prism unit a number of years ago. It worked on any type of sight but the main issue was that the size of the front sight and the target were 'reduced' in size, compared with a normal sight.

I've had a simple offset unit made by Hans Schramm and hope to try it in a couple of weeks. This won't have to same problem. More anon.

Cheers Steve, I had not thought of the effect of size reduction when looking through a couple of prisms.( without magnifcation,as per a spotting scope.) Ill await your verdict. G.

I'm delaying trying this until the Rep matches are over in a couple of weeks. More anon.

Hi Graeme,
I've been trying the outrigger over the last few of weeks. Week One was great with a 199.13 for our Club Champs. The next week, 99, 93 & 98 was a disaster with a 93.1 - problem was not focussing on maintaining a consistent position - tricky without a level. Managed to get a level for this week and was more consistent with pair of 98's.

In summary, I do get a better sight picture with my left eye, but I'm going to need a lot of work on establishing a new consistent position. I would still recommend the offset over the cross over prism, if you need to switch eyes.

Graeme Simpson,
if I remember correctly several years ago I saw in a catalog Anschutz or Gehmann a system similar to a periscope to aim with the dominant eye ( if left eye ).
The diopter and the tunnel remains in normal position for the right eye but is viewed with the left.
If this system is yet produced can't be used for the right eye.

then must determine whether the international regulation permits it

ciao

Hi Max, That priscope one is the type Graeme is talking about. The Crossover sight.
It's done with mirrors so you probably wouldn't get a clear sight picture.
If the mirrors wern't quite aligned properly/knocked, that would probably give a wrong image???

As he's saying here, he's happy with the outrigger as far as using his left eye goes, but yeah it will take some getting used too.

The "young fella"! using one at Nelson seems to be going well with his now...

Good luck Graeme

Bullwacka,
Excuse me. I had misinterpreted what Graeme said

ciao a tutti dear friends
