About Us                

Merit Gunsight Co. was formed in 1934 by Ralph Albertson, an avid shooter and a master toolmaker, who recognized the need for an adjustable iris aperture sight to increase the focal length of shooters. Over the last 66 years Merit apertures have been used and passed down from generation to generation. In 1987 the Grant family purchased Merit and moved the company to upstate New York. Merit is a family run business committed to quality products and customer service. We have proudly continued the tradition of providing shooters with vision and sighting solutions. Thank you for visiting our site. We would love to hear from you, please feel free to contact us.
