• "Olympic" Style Sights

Rule 3.1.3 paragraph 1 states:

Rear sights may be open sights, receiver or tang sights manufactured for the rifle they are mounted on. No
Olympic type sights or extended mounts are permitted. Front sights must be a post or bead, may be
hooded or if interchangeable may use post inserts only.

Yet a majority of the rifles (including mine) I've seen at matches have this style rear sight. Is this a rule that is mostly ignored? If I bring my 39A with my Redfield sight, will I be disqualified?

As usual, the google search result points to an older version of the rule book, what is the date on the front page of the rule book you are looking at? Even the 2016 rule book doesn't have your verbiage in it.

For lever gun, the January 2020 3.1.3 part a states:

a. Rear sights may be open, receiver, or tang sights, mounted as
originally intended. Corrective lenses are allowed in the rear
site only. No extended mounts are permitted. The front sights
must be a post or bead or a fixed non magnified round aperture.
A front sight anti-glare tube which may be no longer than 1 1⁄8” to
include any attachments and no longer than a ¾ outside diameter, may be used.

Fiber optic material may be used in or on the post or bead and may
not be longer than its support blade and not to exceed 1 1/8” in
length. In an antiglare tube, the fiber optic material may not be any
longer than the tube or extended outside the tube. The fiber optic
sights do not need to be commercially manufactured.

My apologies. My rule book was from 2011. Thanks.

No problem, better to ask then question the legality of your rifle
