Question for you folks what is the distance that this sight is designed for zero ?
I have one in 3006 new to me from another nutter just pulled the scope off and am going to try out the iron sights for a bit seems to me it must be designed for at least 200 meters ?
Cheers Tony
 
You should be able to aim accuratley out to at least 300 yards with your peep site. When I was in the army we used FNC1 7.62 rifles and we shot out to 600 yards with them in our annual range qualifications at upper torso man size targets.

I contend that "upper torso man size targets" accuracy is no where near accurate enough for shooting big game. I like to make better hits than that and the game deserves it.

I wouldn't shoot game further than +/- 100yds with a receiver sight.

I generally agree with this sentiment, but for the sake of argument, practical accuracy to a large degree depends on the rifle's front sight. A bead is imprecise, lacks any index of elevation, and isn't good for much beyond close range snap shooting. A flat top rectangular post on the other hand, provides a precise index of elevation, in that the flat top is analogous to the horizontal wire of a cross hair, while the center of the post, which provides the windage component of sighting much like a vertical cross hair, is easily discerned by the human eye. Under good light conditions, good shooting at moderate ranges is quite plausible, whether or not you can shoot well enough at 300 yards to make this sighting arrangement practical for big game game shooting is then an individual choice. In a case where the primary sighting equipment is damaged beyond use, a hunter who has diligently practiced shooting with irons is still in the game.

I would agree with that. It took me a long time to figure out that a 6 oclock hold on a target is far better than a small bead held over the target. I've even gone so far as to file the top of a brass bead flat to aid in this.

Irons are great I agree that 300 is pushing it I originally was just curious as to the original desired purpose
 
I had one on my 602 in 375 , it was zeroed at one hundred yards by the previous owner with 270 gr bullets . Probably one of the coolest sights ever put on a hunting rifle . Boomers right , a square blade is far more useful than a bad in most situations

I flatten the top of the bead along with the sides to get 'er close to being a pin sight. Generally, I use a more on-center hold on targets, but at 6 O'clock center.
Working with irons is great for long range target use, but fer game I keep inside 100 yds.
