Hello everybody,
I just got back from the 2010 Gary Anderson Invitational, and i had a couple questions on using sight risers.
1. Are they legal?
2. Where can i get them?
Thanks!

In smallbore, you can have as many as you want. In air, you can rise the center of your front aperture up to 60mm above the center of the bore. With an Anschutz front sight, that's roughly 28mm worth of riser blocks.

Oop, I was talking precision.
With my limited understanding of sporter rules, I believe the answer is that you cannot use them, but someone more familiar to sporter should confirm this.
Sorry for the confusion.

Soupy's correct ... risers are not legal in sporter air

Question: Was it on an Edge? If so, the front sight is on a "riser" because the barrel is mounted so low .... at one time they were above the allowed 60mm for precision, but I've heard it's now OK
In this case (on the Edge) it is allowed as that is how the rifle is manufactured

It was on an Air Arms T200.
