    Default Ruger Alaskan 480 fiber optic sights?

    Do they make some higher quality Fiber optic front sights For the Ruger Alaskan 480? I picked one up with a 2.5 inch barrel. Pretty stout gun!

    Xring has steered you correctly. Do not opt for other FO sights as they usually have an exposed light pipe. Makes them easy to change, but also somewhat vulnerable. The HiViz he linked you to has a clear resin overmold - meaning you can't just change the light pipe, you have to replace the sight blade, but the upside is that it is much more robust - something you need on a heavy recoiling gun.

    Adios,
