I tried it with the ghost ring aperture, then tried it with the dot sight. I'm a huge fan of the ghost rings. But the dot site was much faster to get on target, and more accurate as well. I like the ghost ring lower profile, but had to admit the dot sight really improved the effectiveness of the gun. And with my aging eyes, it was a serious upgrade.
The buggaboo with yer rifle is that the peep sight you used was mounted in the barrel dovetail slot of the factory open sight. This is a piss poor option due to the very short sight radius coupled with a peep set out too far from the eye for quick acquisition. Pity the Chiappa '86 versions don't have the bolt mount aperture option like on the Pedersoli 86/71.
