Rifle sight riser blocks

Post by PaulB »

What companies in the US sell or make Anschutz, Feinwerkbau and/or Walther sight riser blocks (other than the usuals - Champion's Choice, Champion Shooters Supply, Earnest Shooting Products, 10.9, BFTC)?. In pictures and videos that I see on line there are many different versions that I cannot seem to find for sale anywhere.

Lots of sub companies in each of the retailers you listed. I could add maybe a few other retailers but is there something your looking for in particular? Perhaps post up a photo of what your looking for or manufacturer? Nordic Marksman out of Canada (I realize not USA but the shipping is marginal) carries Fortner which I dont think many US companies have.

I am looking for a source that is reasonably priced, rugged and easy to use for use on about a dozen rifles used by a college shooting team. Obviously, I will also need multiple different heights.

Just took a look over on Eric U's website. He does not show riser blocks as being one of his products any more.
Sorry.

If you type "riser" into the search engine on his site they show up. Not sure why they are not there otherwise.

Centra has a couple of series of adjustable block sets that are reasonably priced.

We seem to accumulate set risers blocks (4mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc) to try to fit and we eventually just switched and invested in adjustables (mec, centra, tec-hro, etc). Basically by the time we bought different set sizes we could have bought an adjustable.

If you will look on Ebay using Feinwerkbau riser blocks, you will find a man named Andrew in England.
He makes what look to be very well made riser blocks in multiple heights.

Does U of V have a machine shop milling machine 101 and 102 class?
Many shooters have a local machine shop cut some blocks for them.
Material is cheap, with a CNC mill you can make a couple of dozen in no time at all.
Just an idea.

I have a few of Andrews Riser Blocks and when I spoke to him last week he said he was getting loads of orders from America and even Brazil.

I am waiting for one to be delivered at the moment.

Okay. Here is my thoughts--- one get's whAt you are willing to pay for!

ESP will make various AND custom sizes @ reasonable (cheap) prices, sometimes the dovetail is, we'll....?

Same for 10.9, in the US.

My suggestion, Centra!

Order from. OK Weber and wait a few weeks for the special order.

I use a set of these. If they're not the same as the Centra, they're awfully close. They're officially only available for Anschutz dovetails (since they're an Anschutz product). www.EliteShootingSport.com is Joe Hein's shop, btw, and he has always been a terrific guy to do business with.
