sights are of good quality but the install on the front sight was a bit brutal. It was very tight and I really had to beat on it to get it in which messed up the finish. The rear sight went in easy, but almost too easy. I can push it out by hand. the visibility is good and being able to switch the color of the front sight is convenient. The only reason I would not recommend them is because the pain of installing them, just a tad too tight and too loose

I like it. I was looking for an optical daylight set-up like came on my Gamo 'Whisper' Air Rifle. This one is nice and bright. I use the greenish front sight set-up (no choice on that) and the pinkish front tube. The sights come with both greenish and pinkish front tubes (6 total). Very good sighting ability. It does block some of the target . . . but, if the front sight was smaller . . . it would be less visable - like the original front sight on my 10-22. Ease of installation was pretty good. Use a brass drift (punch) or a hard wood dowel to drive the existing sights out and install the new ones. A steel drift or puch could mark the finish of the sights and/or rifle. I did remove the front light pipe to install the front sight to avoid possible breakage. The sight proper (both pieces) are, I believe, steel and are 'sound'. No cheap plastic 'crap'. First set-up - I could punch the target pretty good at 75 yards. I am pleased with my choice.
