Thread: Iron sights

Thanks for going to so much detail CH and others that has given me more food for thought.
The model Seven has a short barrel and that is why I had elected to go for a rear peep to give a longer sight plane. I will give it some more thought and try and get to shoot a few varying set ups before I decide.

The other thing that got me set down this path was an air rifle purchase, the nostalgia of open sights was rekindled!
I have gone back to open sights on my A1 222 so would like to try and find a piece of rocking horse shit to put on the rear scope mount slot.

I have open sights on my 44 as a back up or wet weather hunting option,I mostly bush hunt and find keeping the lenses dry a pain and most shots are well under 50m ,I have a red dot mounted on it now but can swap out between the red dot,a Leupold compact low power scope or open sights in a couple of minutes in the field depends on the hunting conditions on the day.only downside of the opens is I can’t use the suppressor but it’s only a 44 so no big deal.had peeps on it but like Carlson said had trouble with the front post/ghost ring position in dark forest,I do have a hiviz front sight tho,couldn’t pick up the post otherwise with enough accuracy.,I can shoot 1.5in groups at 50m with the opens on the 44 ,shallow v at the rear and hiviz dot at the front.
