Marble Arms Rifle Flip-Up No. 69Wh Marble'S Flat-Top W/ Windage Blk
The Marble Arms Rifle Flip-Up No. 69Wh is a classic backup iron sight built for shooters who want reliable, no-battery sighting when it matters. This flat-top rear sight folds down when you're running a primary optic—scope, red dot, or any main system—and flips up instantly when you need it. With a reversible notch piece that lets you choose between U and V configurations, you get two sight pictures from one piece of gear, a no-fuss approach that's served hunters and riflemen for generations.
The No. 69Wh is the high version in Marble's lineup, standing .460" to .590" tall, making it suitable for rifles with higher receiver profiles or when you're running coaxial optics that sit above standard bore height. The sight is held firmly in both the up and down positions by a strong spring mechanism—no rattling or creeping. Windage adjustment is built in, so you can dial in your zero without swapping parts. If the standard height doesn't fit your platform, Marble offers the lower No. 69 style, giving you options for most standard rear sight dovetails.
This is iron sight truth: no electronics, no batteries, no excuses. Whether you're a hunter carrying a backup, a competition shooter preparing for a stages-gone-wrong scenario, or a rifleman who simply prefers irons, the Marble Arms flip-up delivers the durability and simplicity that have made the brand trusted across decades of American shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this sight fit my rifle's dovetail?
The Marble Arms No. 69Wh is designed to fit most standard rear sight dovetails. If your rifle uses a standard dovetail (common on many hunting and competition rifles), it should mount. Verify your rifle's dovetail specification before purchase to confirm compatibility.
Can I use this sight with a scope or red dot already on my rifle?
Yes. The No. 69Wh flips down when not in use, clearing the way for a primary optic. Simply flip it up when you need the iron sight as a backup or when your main optic fails.
What's the difference between the U and V notches?
The reversible notch piece gives you two sight picture options. Flip it to choose between a U-shaped notch or a V-shaped notch, depending on your preference or hunting/shooting situation.
Is this the high or standard height version?
This is the high version (No. 69Wh), which stands .096" taller than the standard No. 69H. The high version works well on rifles with elevated receiver profiles or when you're running coaxial optics above the bore.
