Re: Peep Sight Questions.......

Thanks, GFK!!
I kinda feel that your suggestion to put the receiver on the sandbags, instead of the wood foregrip, helped a bunch. I'll be eternally grateful to you for that tip you gave earlier in this thread.
And I appreciate you chiming in about your Marlin's front sight setup as well.That helps me. By any chance does your Marlin have any sort of sight ramp, or is that front sight dovetailed into the the barrel?
Like GFK, I really wanna keep my shots at 75 yds. or less. Not so much due to the sights or caliber; sometimes I have a tough time seeing antlers (or not) at distances over that without my binocs. My local gun club only lets us shoot at either 25 yds. or 100 yds.. I really have to find somewhere that I can set a 75 yd. zero.......
Almost all of my "modern handguns" have a fiber optic or Tritium dot setup sighted in at a 6 o'clock hold. Before the ammo & reloading component supply went goofy, these were what I shot the most, and I'm very much a creature of habit. I really wish I could find a flat topped fiber optic sight for my rifle that's similar to what I have on my Kimber .45. I like the flat Patridge-style post, but with a glowing dot near the top of the post. Most fiber optic rifle front sights (with the 3/8" dovetail) seem to have a rounded top.
I am still amazed at how high of a front sight I'm winding up with to get it to work with either of the receiver peep sights I have! I figure I'll end up with either a post or fiber optic front sight around .500" tall and mounted on a 7/16" tall ramp.
I may try some sight paint on my post to see if that helps some.
Thanks again for all the help, Y'all!!!
