HI VIZ Front Sight (9.5 mm), 11 mm Dovetail

• Interchangeable LitePipes: The front sight accepts replaceable fiber-optic LitePipes, so the sight picture can be tuned for different light conditions or shooter preference without replacing the whole sight.
• 9.5 mm sight height: This DOVM380 version gives a defined front-sight height for rifles and muzzleloaders that use a standard 3/8" dovetail, helping maintain proper sight alignment with compatible rear sights.
• All-steel construction: A steel body stands up better to field use, knocks, and repeated installation than softer materials, making it a practical choice for working rifles.
• Bright green fiber-optic aiming point: The green front element draws the eye quickly in daylight, which helps speed up sight acquisition for hunting, plinking, and general field shooting.
• Fixed front-sight design: With no adjustment mechanisms in the sight itself, the unit stays simple, compact, and easy to fit on rifles that use a dovetail-mounted front blade.

About the Hi Viz Interchangeable Sight Series

The Hi Viz Interchangeable Sight series sits within the company’s Original Sights family and focuses on a simple idea: a durable sight body paired with replaceable LitePipes. Rather than locking the shooter into one permanent front-sight color, these models use molded fiber-optic elements that can be removed, replaced, and reused. That gives the series a practical advantage in changing light, because the sight picture can be adapted to conditions or personal preference without changing the base sight.

Across the range, the series is aimed at everyday shooters and competitive users who want a brighter, faster sight picture than a plain black blade provides. The concept appears on handgun, shotgun, and rifle models, with platform-specific versions built around the mounting standards of each firearm type. Depending on the model, LitePipe color options can include green, red, white, or black. What ties the series together is a straightforward mechanical design: a robust sight body, a highly visible aiming reference, and the flexibility to refresh or change the insert instead of replacing the entire sight.

About the HI VIZ Front Sight (9.5 mm), 11 mm Dovetail

The HI VIZ Front Sight (9.5 mm), 11 mm Dovetail is a fixed fiber-optic front sight made for rifles and muzzleloaders that use a standard dovetail-mounted front sight. In this version, the sight height corresponds to the DOVM-380 size, which is measured from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the sight. That makes it a practical replacement when the goal is to restore a damaged front sight, improve visibility over a plain blade, or build a clearer iron-sight picture on a field rifle.

The main advantage of this model is its combination of a bright green LitePipe and an all-steel body. The fiber-optic insert gives the eye a clear focal point in daylight, helping the front sight stand out faster against dark targets, brush, or mixed backgrounds. For hunting optics users who still rely on iron sights as a primary or backup aiming system, that can make snap shots feel more natural and reduce hesitation when picking up the front blade. The steel construction keeps the sight robust enough for regular carry and repeated use on working rifles.

Because this sight uses the interchangeable LitePipe system, it also offers more flexibility than a fixed-color fiber insert. Shooters can replace the pipe when worn or switch colors to suit conditions. The result is a compact rifle front sight that stays mechanically simple while offering a brighter and more adaptable sight picture than conventional non-fiber iron sights.

About HiViz

HiViz began in 1996 with a single shooting-related product and grew into a specialist maker of sights and accessories for firearms. Headquartered in Laramie, Wyoming, United States, the company focuses on products for handguns, shotguns, and rifles, with a range that includes fiber-optic sights, tritium sights, recoil pads, and related shooting accessories. Its reputation in this category is closely tied to the use of highly visible sight inserts designed to make iron sights faster to acquire in practical field conditions.

A key part of the brand’s identity is the LitePipe system, which uses removable and reusable fiber-optic elements. HiViz has applied that idea across several sight families, including Original Sights, TriViz, CompSight, and later LiteWave designs. In products where rapid sight acquisition matters, the company’s approach combines straightforward mechanical construction with a brighter aiming reference that remains easy to maintain and adapt.
