What sight does this rifle come with. The photo is the older "L" shaped rear, but don't they all come with knob adjustable sights now?

Every one we've gotten over the last 5 years have come with both style sights. Fixed peep, and 5899 percision sight. If you plan on useing the gun for compitition, throw the peep sight away.

YES, you are correct. The sight is equipped with two adjustment knobs. Sight is a bit smaller than a dime, round in shape, with small hole you look through to end of barrel to target. Amazingly accurate 30-50 feet away. Single shot,able to hit the letters in a soda can every time, with the assumption your able to keep the gun free of movement. I never expected "Daisy" to produce one of the best BB guns, but they do. To the people who post negative reviews are generally unable to keep the gun free of movement, with the expectation of hitting a small target. I purchased the gun to relocate black birds from nesting in my barns. My 12 yr old grandson is able to hit a soda can 100 ft away every shot free standing, myself, I need to lean against something reducing movement. Hope this answers your question

It had a knob adjustable peep sight on it, but the truth is I cut off the front sight and did not install the back sight. I use it like a shotgun to train with.

Yes its an inexpesive "micrometer" type. It's tricky to mount and the directions are weak. This gun is a fairly expensive toy. It is accurate up to like 10 meters but the velocity is under 350 fps.

It does come with the rear peep sight, and the hooded front sight. The rear receiver sight may not be in a L shape like the picture shows the sight I have is a 5899. It is a peep sight that adjusts for distances and windage or (left to right) it comes in a small box that the rifle comes in along with the multiple front sights. The bracket will screw into the top of the receiver,Remember to use proper safety equipment, and use proper gun safety! My first Daisy model 99 BB gun does have the L shape rear Peep sight and the hooded front sight like the picture.

To be technically correct, the Model 499 has the older, simple, L-shape peep sight. The Model 499B has the newer "micrometer" adjust sight. Most retailers are very lax about being accurate with the model numbers. Daisy still lists both models in their 2013 Avanti catalog, but on the Daisy web site you'll only find the 499B. The official name is Avanti Champion Model 499 or 499B. The only difference is the rear sight. Even though this Amazon entry shows a picture of the 499, the answers here indicate that they are shipping the 499B.

Yes, it fit mine. The only issue was that I have a reshaped bolt handle so I had to grind away some of the material to make the notch deeper. Works fine. Only other issue is that you really need to get your face into the stock to properly see the sights, but once there it works fine, and seems to have reduce recoil some.

Does the rear sight on your rifle have a pin through it so it can be flipped up and down? If so the it should but little advice. I put this on my number 4 I had to get a screw to put in the rear pin hole. Otherwise the mount moves to much.

There are at least two different sizes of tenons or stems for the front sight. The one I purchased was going on a Springfield which has a small slot in the slide. I had to file it down to fit. If your not familiar with staking a sight, you should use a gun smith to install it.

Thanks for the quick reply. BTW, would you recommend the Ameriglo sights you purchased, or another manufacturer?

I had my gun smith install both.He has a jig to drill the holes for the rear sight. Drilled and tapped. And the front sight was welded on. Let a pro do it on this one. It will work and look great.Regards.Helmut1*

Chris C. is correct. It comes with what is pictured. 2 pin adjustable sight and targets

I have the same type pistol. I was never able to find those sights. I would suggest you contact sig for an update on that one

Just the sights, no adjustment tool. Besides that, these are some of the nicest backup iron sights.

Yes, but I would recommend getting the rear-sight package, which I didn't. It really needs that to compliment it. It is better than the original sight.

I didn't remove it as I did not want to re-sight my rifle. However it looks like my M&P; 15 which I have changed out for a night sight post. Thanks

No but the matching front sight does. The rear sight will adjust left and right. They are great sights.

Dave, as far as I know the sights have to be for your specific weapon. I purchased one for my MP Shield. Personally, I didn't like it at all, aim point sucked. it's a fixed sight. Had to aim way high to hit my target. Looks great though..Removed it immediately when I got home from the range.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

They are fixed sights. the rear is drift adjustable. they are very nice on my CZ

I don't use the rail, I used the standard Ruger mounts. You don't see the front sight.

You can keep the front sight, but not the rear, which is attached to the original Pic rail. You need to get an aftermarket rear sight, which may or may not work with the dovetail front sight. I pulled mine and got flip-up front and rear sights.
