There's a letter from Teddy Roosevelt that says he likes peep sights, but I cannot find a single example of a rifle he owned and used that has peep sights. I've seen an 1894 Winchester that the NRA has or had that has factory sights and a can he used for shooting varmints in his yard on long island so the neighbors couldn't hear (even more based because it was an 1894 and not an 1892 like a normal person, I guess Teddy wanted to feed those gophers .30-30). Cody in Wyoming has or had his 1895 winchester from Africa and that has factory open sights. Pic related is his bubba'd up 1903 with what looks like Winchester sights.There's an 1895 Winchester with a peep that was in a rock island and NRA article, but when you look into it it was a gift he gave to some other officer from the rough riders and not a gun he shot himself. there's an 1886 that was presented to him from winchester for the Africa trip but he never brought it with him so idk if he used it. There's a hawkens rifle that belonged to Kit Carson so I'd assume Kit Carson put on the sights and Teddy didn't add sights to some other famous guy's gun (though that would be based)
This is a .405 WCF he took to Africa
the bottom is the woodchuck eliminator 9,000. I'm assuming the top, also with open sights, was his because its in .45-90
>>64748218>“Basically it tells you about the life of Theodore Roosevelt,” explains Senior Curator Phil Schreier (in photo above in coat). “Hunter, Statesman, Soldier. In the first case we had two firearms from his hunting career. First an 1886 Winchester rifle known as the tennis match gun because he used winnings from a tennis match to purchase the gun.”lmao
>>64748212>bubba'd up 1903It was a purpose-built sporting rifle made to Roosevelt’s order.
>>64748212He couldve always, ya know, had peep sights installed on something. Not everyone keeps things bone stock, even 130 years ago
>>64748363all 4 rifles itt are ones he owned and shot and they are in whatever config he left them in when he died
Are you the anon who keeps making aperture sights threads? This is at minimum the 3rd one in as many days
>>64748468Peep holes have thier own attraction. Allow him.
>>64748476That's one great way to shit up the board, make a thread for every single thought you have.
>>64748468He's been doing it for a while now.
>>64748485I can only speak to what I've seen, and even that is excessive.These threads are just as stupid as the geopolitics threads. OP gets a hair up his ass, makes another thread about aperture sights.What type of retardation causes that behavior?
>>64748468>Are you the anon who keeps making aperture sights threads?nope>>64748482>>64748485>>64748493they weren't me, but they don't shit up the board considering there are over 100 no gunz threads about planes and other bullshit like north korean special forces
>>64748495Fair enough, I'm standing down
