Does anyone here remember a little gadget that was (I believe) match legal for "Fullbore" Shooting back in the late 60's early 70's.

I believe it was called the "Peri-prism" or something similar. Possibly an Aldis product from the name.

Basically it was a periscope about 2~2 /12" long that you screwed into the eyepiece of your match rear-sight & then screwed the removed eyepiece into on the other end.

I don't remember if it was actually a front-silvered solid prism or a pair of front-silvered mirrors, but it formed a periscope that allowed left eye, right hand cross dominant shooters & maybe the opposite, although that woiuld be much rarer, to shot cross dominant by letting the left eye "see through" it allowing the cross dominant shooter to fire the rifle right handed & left eyed.

I could make use of such a device. I'm right handed, left eye dominant and my right eye is getting pretty bad anymore. Never knew such a thing existed.

I'd drop a bunch of money to get such a thing being left-eyed and right handed.
