Can someone please measure there model 15-2 sight and tell me how high it is from the top of the shroud to top of sight. I need a sight 5/16" high and was curious if a standard 15-2 sight would work. Thanks guys!!!

Stock DW sights are .250 and .300 if I remember correctly. You can get the all black silhouette ones in more varieties.

That is correct - I get .300 on a colored insert sight and the black patridge is available (according to the price list) in .225, .250, .300, and .350.

I have an older 15-2 with the solid black sight. It measures more than 1/4 " but
less than 5/16 "

Looks like the .30 high sight from a 15-2 is just what I need to fix my sight issue I'm having on my porkchop with its new shroud. I attached pic comparing both sight heights. The longer shroud is perfect the shorter shroud needs a taller sight. 5/16" tall from top of shroud to top of sight. I like the colored insert too. Now I just have to find one.

Just found this info. and thought it was interesting. You guys may allready now this but if not, something to think about.
DW makes two sight blade heights for the Model 15-2. One is .250" and the other is .300". If you have the .250" front sight blade and are using ammo with 110 grain bullets then you can expect the point of impact to be pretty high. Most model 15-2's are regulated for 158 grain bullets using the .300" sight blade and for 125 grain bullets using the .250" sight blade. Both these sight blades can be found with white, yellow, red, or orange inserts so you can't use the color as an indicator of height.

Are you gonna change the two or buy a new sight ?

This also all comes down to how you aim your sight picture.
I personally use # 1 because I like to see all of the target and what target is doing.

I use to sight in like image 2 but have started using the method in image 1 which seems to work better for me.

I think I'm going to leave the 6" shroud as is. That way when I mount the scope I still have the option of taking the scope off and still have use of the iron sights. I like having options. I have an email to eric to see what the height of the fiber optic sights he has. Im pretty sure I'll go with the fiber optic as long as the height works out. Ive never used a sight like that before but sometimes in the sun I have a hard time with the black on black sights with the glare, so I'm thinking the fiber optic might be the way to go.

FYI. the EWK fiber optic sights are 5/16" tall. It should work perfect for me.
