Anyone know where to buy an occluder? The sights on my .577 are way too blurry. Thanks

Mike,

I assume you're talking about an adjustable iris that fits on your glasses? I've never heard it called an "occluder."

Brownells sells the Merit Optical Attachment (there doesn't seem to be a technical term for it). I bought one a few years ago that had a little alligator clip on it to attach to the eyeglass frame. Seems the Merit now attaches to the lens with a suction cup.

Anyway, Google is your friend, and these people sell the newer Merit as well as another manufacturer's flip-up style....

Thanks Mike. This should let me shoot my double rifle again.

I've got one I want to try, but the suction cup is too firm to work on my glasses. Some guys used to just make a small hole in a small square of electrical tape and put it right on their glasses. Another partial solution is to make a simple peep sight for the tang and install a blade front. That way you have to worry about only one the front sight.

Hal I bought one for $22 including shipping. I thought about the peep but they don't look nice on a double rifle and any drilling and tapping really lowers the resale value.
