Large Front Globe sight

Looking for a large diameter front globe sight (preferably with windage and level) that allows as much light in as possible. Who makes a sight such as this? Is the MVA or PH sight the largest diameter? I need more light Sad

Thanks

I don't know about a much larger diameter one, but I have seen some that were 'daylighted' by having two holes opened up in the roof of the tube. Presumably to allow light into the tunnel. I don't know if these were homemade alterations or if some (unknown) manufacturer created them. Just a thought.

That sounds like it would let in more light. Thanks I'll try to search for this.

For Olympic shooting many use the larger 22 mm globe sights.
However these sights are NOT allowed in the BPCR Silhouette game where only the original (Winchester, Sharps, Lyman 17A)  smaller diameter original globe style sights are allowed.

This is the biggest one I've seen.  Doesn't have windage, though.

Lee Shaver makes the large style sight that is similar to The Parker Hale and is bigger than the smaller Lee Shaver  model which is the size of the Lyman 17A. They both have bubbles in them to keep your rifle level.I had them on my long range bpcr rifles until I had to move to a scope.

Bent Ramrods sight pic is a Tompkins Globe front sight
used on HI Power rifles. 
The 22mm sights are made by Gehmann and Anschutz
and Centra at O.K.Weber or Champion shooters supply
They are all designed to clamp on a front dovetail base
of the Lyman/Unertl style that are also used for external adjust scopes.

Thanks for that, beltfed!  I couldn't find the thing in Stroebel's books and then sort of gave up the search.
