As short as that is, I want to get the barrel cut down to the handguard and SBR it.

So it's not going to have the factory peep? If not, that's pretty disappointing. A $359 dollar rifle with a $500 sight.

I wonder if just the barrels will be available?

Yes, very disappointing. I was considering one before I realized that.

Why do you feel you need a battle ready red dot on a single shot rifle? I'm sure that T1 is just on for looks.

Mine will get a mid grade 1-4x hunting scope, and I'm glad I don't have iron sights to pay for unnecessarily or get in the way of my ocular lense. I'd be just as happy with a Primary Arms RDS on a rifle like this. It's not like I'm going to drop it from a helicopter and run over it with my Humvee.

I will be waiting for range reports before purchasing just to make sure it's dialed in, but I am not expecting sub MOA for this to be a nice rifle to have.

Those Bushnell TRS25s are really really good for the money.

No, I don't think I need a battle sight on that rifle. In fact, I don't think I would use ANY optic on that rifle. I regularly shoot and hunt with iron sights, and for something like the handi rifle, I would rather use it with irons than have to go out and purchase anything else. I think a rifle like that looks silly with a red dot on it.

For sale in March. $359 MSRP with scope rail and rear peep sight. I changed the finish from blued to phosphate.

So when did this change? Not too long ago it was posted that both would be an option. viewtopic.php?f=138&t=77957&hilit=handi

Handi rifles without sights are not very handy.

I realize there are less expensive red dot sights available. I don't buy cheap sights because you get cheap performance. And then when those sights break, you have no backup.

Don't think I'll be buying one now.
