Centra Goliath 30mm front sight

#1 Postby Aubrey » Tue Dec 02, 2008 7:43 pm

Just got some new gear. The new Centra 30mm sight made by X-Treme Shooting in the USA, and used by a growing number of top shooters in the US and internationally.

Looks great and hopefully will shoot as well!

Aubrey,

Not only it WILL, but IT DOES : John Whiden, using it on both of his rifles, won the US Nationals and the Leech Cup in Camp Perry this year...

Good luck to add to the good tool...

I used the sight for first time at 800m yesterday. The clarity of vision and ability to see so much more - like target numbers and wind flags was fantastic. It really felt good - I managed to wobble in 50-7 on my first string.

Very happy! High recommended.

I haven't seen a foresight extension for this sight. I would imagine that a few specks of rain on the eagle eye could jepodise a good shoot.
Any ideas out there??

Contrary to other brands, Centra lenses are held in a collet ensuring their perfect indexing, but who also are female threaded same pitch as the Tunnel to accept extensions, filters, sunshades, rainshades......whatever.
The accessories ca be screwed directly on the Tunnel if no lens is used.

centra 30 ml foresight

Thanks for that clarification. The important words for me were.... "if no lens is used".
This being the case I will hold off buying. I use an Eagle eye at all ranges.

You can screw a sunshade onto the lens - there has been a misunderstanding.

Sorry,
When I wrote "collet", I meant the collet into which is inserted the Eagle Eye. Whether the Eagle Eye (with its collar) is screwed on or not, the sunshade can be fitted on the sight or on the collar
