Constructed from durable steel, this mechanical sight is built to withstand the rigours of regular range use while maintaining a reliable zero. Featuring a height of .494 inches, the LY-17AMI is designed to fit standard 3/8 inch (.375") dovetail slots, making it a highly compatible choice for a wide variety of target and muzzleloading rifles. Its globe design effectively minimises glare, providing shooters with a clear, well-defined sight picture under diverse lighting conditions.
