Mike i was gobsmacked as to the clarity and the automatic focusing that the sight did to your brain........i use it for the same reason....and i have it on a very old souped up HW77...i have used a telescopic sight and now the diopter sight and can report there is little or no differance in accuracy......... im still in awe how it messes with you brain to eye function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntly Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Hi Mike, it's not on your list but if any use to you I have another BSA No.9, two different variants its seems, a BSA Tippins and a Westley Richards, though I cannot find a specific model. The fixing plates are for a Lee Enfield I believe but I've yet to have the please of owning one to find out, but are you looking to use on a martini action? The BSA Tippins is a fixed aperture, also marked BSA Parker. The Westley Richards and No.9 sights have threaded, removable fixed aperture peep sights so could possibly be adapted similarly to Ditchmans? Let me know if anything is any use to you.

Huntly Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I'll upload pictures here, so others can chip in with any information or advice. It's been a few years since I last researched these. First picture shows one of the BSA No.9 variants. Second No.9 BSA Tippins Westley Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
