Anschutz Achiever sights?

[DCRColoCity]

I am coaching 4-H shooters in southern Colorado and recently bought an Anschutz Achiever for the kids to shoot. It came with a scope, no sights, and I'm trying to find target sights for it. Does anyone know of a source?

I've contacted Williams and got a combination of sights & mounts that require drilling & tapping for both front and rear. It seems the original sight that used to come on these rifles (Lyman-Anschutz 6802?) are long discontinued. The front sight grooves are narrower than the standard, so a front globe sight requires an adapter/riser block if I can't find one that fits the Achiever.

Any suggestions on sights and sources would be appreciated!

Champions choice or any of the other vendors will have something that will work. The rear sight dovetails on most of the high end rifles are close enough to the same that rear sights and risers are considered interchangeable between brands. You will have to find a front sight that fits an anschutz. Anschutz is different than Fwb and walther. You should probably check out the target talk forum. They have a buy/sell/trade section. You will find what you want there way cheaper than new prices. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, most people on the forum have been through the same learning curve that you are going through.
