The Lyman Globe Front Target Sight #17AHB is a precision front sight built for shooters who demand accuracy at the bench and in the field. Machined from solid steel and finished in professional steel blue, this target sight pairs seamlessly with Lyman receiver sights to create a repeatable, adjustable aiming system for rifles and other firearms. At .404" height with a 3/8" dovetail fit, the #17AHB is designed for rifles already set up with standard Lyman receiver sights—check your rifle's dovetail size before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Globe sights have been the gold standard for target and hunting accuracy for over a century, and Lyman's 17A series carries on that tradition. The globe design protects the insert and provides a superior sighting picture by concentrating light and reducing peripheral distraction. This model comes ready to mount with eight interchangeable inserts, giving you flexibility to match different lighting conditions, target types, and shooting distances. Each insert locks securely in place with a threaded cap, so you can swap them without tools getting in the way.
Whether you're tuning a vintage rifle, building a specialized target setup, or simply upgrading to iron sights that won't quit, the Lyman #17AHB delivers the precision and durability that have made Lyman a name serious shooters trust. Pair it with your Lyman rear sight for a complete, repeatable aiming platform.
| Front Sight Height | .404" |
| Dovetail Size | 3/8" |
| Material | Steel |
| Finish | Steel Blue |
| Interchangeable Inserts | Eight included |
| Insert Lock | Threaded cap |
Yes, the #17AHB is designed to work as a companion to Lyman receiver sights. Both pieces form a complete iron sight system. However, confirm your rifle has a 3/8" dovetail slot at the front to ensure proper fit.
Each insert is designed for different shooting conditions and target types. You can swap them to optimize your sight picture for bright sunlight, low light, small bullseyes, or larger target areas. Insert selection is a personal preference based on your eyesight and the light conditions where you shoot.
The 3/8" dovetail is a common standard on rifles designed for Lyman sights, but not all rifles use this size. Measure your dovetail slot or consult your rifle's manual before ordering. If your rifle has a different dovetail size, Lyman makes other models that may fit.
The #17AHB comes with the sight itself, eight interchangeable inserts, and a threaded locking cap. You will need to mount it in your rifle's existing dovetail slot—no additional tools or adapters are included.
