Abstract
A forward sight for a rifle barrel has a sight element having a base portion for engagement with the forward end of the rifle barrel. An elongated fiber optic member is on the base member and has a rearward end exposed to view by sighting longitudinally towards the rearward end of the base portion. The fiber optic member is partially imbedded in the base member and extends through at least one raised portion on the raised member. The base portion is comprised of a transparent one-piece material extending substantially along the length of the fiber optic member to obtain substantial exposure of the fiber optic member to ambient light.
