Description
Factory open sights on a lot of rifles and muzzleloaders leave something to be desired, especially when the light gets flat and that little black bead disappears against the woods. This Williams Fire Sights set fixes that in a hurry. It pairs a red fiber optic front sight with a green fiber optic rear, so your eye lines up the two contrasting colors almost on its own. Those fiber optic rods pull in whatever ambient light is around and channel it back to you as a couple of glowing dots, which means quicker target acquisition when a deer steps out at last light.
Built to Replace Your Remington 700 Factory Bead and Blade
The set drops in where your original front bead and rear blade live, giving you a full front-and-rear upgrade in one box. Williams machines these from lightweight aluminum with a black finish, so they hold up to weather and recoil without adding noticeable weight up front. The fiber optic rods sit in a solid metal base rather than the flimsy plastic you find on a lot of budget sights, which is a big part of why folks who run these tend to keep coming back to the brand.
Fitment for the Post-2003 Remington 700
This particular set is cut for post-2003 Remington rifles and muzzleloaders that use the one-piece ramp front sight. If your 700 or 700ML rolled off the line after 2003, this is the version you want. Double-check your front ramp style before ordering, since the pre-2003 guns use a different set. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable drifting a dovetail, though having a gunsmith press in the front sight is a smart move if you want it dead center the first time.
Why Williams Fire Sights Earn Their Keep
Williams has been building sights out of Michigan since 1926, and the Fire Sights line is one of their most popular for good reason. In bright sun those dots practically glow, and the color contrast between the red front and green rear makes alignment fast and intuitive. It's a simple, affordable way to breathe new life into an older rifle or dial in a muzzleloader for hunting season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Williams sight set fit my Remington 700?
This set is designed for post-2003 Remington rifles and muzzleloaders that use the one-piece ramp front sight, including the Remington 700 and 700ML. If your gun was made before 2003, you'll need the pre-2003 version instead. Check your front ramp style before ordering to be sure you're getting the right fit.
What colors are the front and rear fiber optics?
The front sight uses a red fiber optic and the rear uses a green fiber optic. That color contrast makes lining up the sights quick and natural, since your eye separates the two dots without much thought. In bright sunlight both colors really pop.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this Remington 700 fiber optic sight set?
It replaces your factory front bead and rear blade, and plenty of folks handle it at home if they're comfortable drifting a dovetail with a brass punch. That said, having a gunsmith press in the front sight is recommended to get it perfectly centered the first time. The rear sight is the easier of the two to swap.
How do fiber optic sights perform in low light?
Fiber optic rods gather ambient light and channel it back to your eye, so they glow brightest when there's decent light around, like dawn, dusk, or an overcast day. That's where they shine for hunting, giving you faster target acquisition than a plain black bead. In full darkness they behave like standard iron sights since there's no light to gather.
