Peep sights

[bb07]

Who likes peep sights? I have them on these two as well as use them on rifles that are factory equipped with them like the Ruger Scout.

Winchester M70 Carbine in .30-06 Lyman 57 WJS

Ruger M77 MKll in .30-06 Williams Foolproof

Paul Cook built this RB for me, including the peep sight:

Oberndorf Mauser Type M 30-06 (c. 1922) with Lyman 35 on bolt release

I love them. My old eyes are useless on open sights, but I can hit with a peep. I have them on my M94.

Always amazes me how accurate you can be by aligning 2 little drilled holes in a piece of steel.

Peeps are generally a good indication that the rifle owner knows his business. To me THE best sight for a woods rifle

Some real beauties on here!..

Skinners, on my BLR in .308.

As my eyes have “aged” I’ve put them on all my lever guns. Wish I’d done it sooner. Love ‘em.

I went from 2-½ moa down to 1¼ moa on my M94 in 38-55 by installing a Williams
Foolproof and front Firesight. EE

Have a couple rifles with peep sights, probably the best one I have is a Sportco target rifle. Peep sight that comes with it, the eye piece is ajustable for size.

I've been using peep sights since me teens. For anyone with decent eyesight, peeps be the cat's arse.
Williams peep & factory front.

I have a Skinner peep on my R92. It's the only gun I went out of my way to change the sights on. It is certainly a lot better than the factory rear the gun came with. I have been an irons guy for most of my life. It's only the last few years I have owned more than an optic or three. Peeps are almost always my preference.

They are about as fast as it gets for quick shots and they are also typically fully capable of great accuracy. What's not to like?

I fitted XS ghost ring sights to my R92's & they work best fer me.

^I didn't even know XS made that, poor Google skills on my part I guess. I did want a sight to replace the safety so I could keep the rail I bought over the rear sight dovetail. Steve's Guns stopped shipping to Canada so I didn't seem to have many options. I will have to upgrade I suppose!

 

[SuperCub]

I like them on my 760 .....

.... and on my old 341P 22LR

The XS model for the earlier, pre-angle eject model Win 94 be good fer the model 92.
I reworked the stock safety lever to a button profile that fits neatly under the XS sight and fit 'er back in into the bolt in the fire position and sealed 'er
in place with a dab of Loctite blue. No aftermarket replacement needed.

I have a skinner peep on my cz 527. I once shot an moa group with S&B fmj. Not an everyday thing for my ability, but not far from common. With barrel mounted sights? No way

Have used skinner sights on a lot of guns. Handi rifles, Tikka, Henry, ruger american etc. They are good but the older ones were prone to rusting. Might be better now

I have a SAKO branded peep on my Aiii. It's a cool idea with the multiple ranges but both are within the mpbr of most rifles.

With the aperture threaded in it is a small window.

Maybe a holdover from the Era when scopes were not used by many. It seems like it does away with the fast target acquisition aspect of peep sights though

I have hunted and competed with open and aperture sights far more than with optics since I started shooting regularly in 1966. I still hunt with iron sights on some of my rifles.
