These are marginal at best.The target dots are smaller than the OE dots.They are acceptable in daylight ,But are completely useless in a low light or dark situation.These are not night sights.Install was easy.they are physically much smaller than the factory sights
Would recommend: No

These have got to be the best sights made for the Buckmark. I have got these on all 4 of my pistols. My uncle & I did some shooting recently and after he picked up my pistol he had me order a set for his also. Makes target acquiring so much nicer. Sights are bright especially in sun. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who owns a Buckmark with factory black sights.
Would recommend: Yes

Browning should be shipping the buckmark with these instead of the black on black sights. What a difference these make.
Pros: Lightweight and solid
Cons: None really.
Would recommend: Yes

I have previously bought a set of these for my 10-22 and they work perfect. But this pair I bought to replace my damaged sights on a Winchester 1300 deer barrel.
Installation was easy, the front sight required some minor filing I the dove dail which is standard, and the rear sight tapped in very easy and uses a set screw to secure it. They look great visually and the sight picture is very good with them. Target acquisition is very fast with the light tubes which glow bright even on a cloudy day.
However for my model 1300 barrel I could not adjust the rear sight low enough to align the sights to a laser bore sight. I will need to buy a taller front sigh post to bring it down more.
On my 10-22 I have no issues, they work perfectly and are very accurate. And have proven to be a great training aide for my 12 y/o daughter who now loves shooting.
I would also be careful with the front sight. The light tube is not as protected as the rear and will break easily if it takes a direct hit on something. Fortunately one call to Williams and they sent me a new light tube free of charge. So good customer service and a company that backs their product.
Yes I would definitely recommend these.
Pros: Easy to install, great light gathering
Cons: Limited vertical adjustment of rear sight
Would recommend: Yes

These sights are a good upgrade over factory metal bead sights. I used them to teach my daughter to shoot on open sights. They are easy to install, just be careful not to damage the finish with punches. My front site fiber tube broke easily once but a call to Williams and a new fiber tube was in the mail no questions asked. Great customer service. I was happy enough I just purchased a set for my winchester 1300 slug barrel. Will write a review when I have a chance to test them out
Pros: Easy to instal, fibers glow well, good customer service from Williams
Cons: Front fiber susceptible to damage
Would recommend: Yes

The rear site was easy to install and it makes acquiring target fast. The only problem is that the front site doesn't appear to be made for my rifle. I'm going to call OP to determine.
Pros: rear was easy and quick to install
Cons: the front site doesn't appear to fit my 30-30
Would recommend: No

First of all, these sights are very difficult to install unless you have a perfectly sized punch and a thick rubber mat to avoid damaging the pins. That said, now that the sights are installed I LOVE them. They are very bright and easy to see. With the factory iron sights on my Buckmark I could consistently peg the bullseye 18 rounds out of 20 at 15 feet. The rear fiber optic sight can not be lowered enough to give me the same sight picture and it has taken a while to get used to the new one. The factory sights are also very slightly wider than the Williams sights, this causes a very slight variation left to right. Now that I'm used to the variations and checking to make sure the rear sight is centered before I go to the range, I have no problems with the Williams sights and would recommend them to anyone with the patience to put them on.
Would recommend: Yes

I purchased these because it said that it was for my Mossberg 500. I got them in the mail, grabbed the shotgun and quickly found out that these sights do not fit without additional hardware.
Pros: Great color
Cons: Needs additional hardware to be able to mount these sights on
Would recommend: Yes

I would prefer to be able to lower the rear sight some more. However by taking a little different sight picture I can get by.
Pros: sights show up nice,quick target acquisition
Cons: rear sight bottomed out and shooting high at 25yds
Would recommend: Yes
