I believe that Williams has a set of sights (peep or otherwise) that you can mount on a pic rail. Gives you options...
Without a front sight (bare barrel), Williams' ain't gonna work.
Given no existing sight/dovetail... I'd think that's a bit more gunsmithing work than the OP's in game for."It can be screwed on, sweated on, or installed with an
optional dovetail lock that fits into standard 3/8” dovetails."
my eyes had flattened and I'd lost the ability to focus in three planes, couldn't see the rear sight, front sight & Target.
I used to pooh-pooh the "ghost ring" theory until I got an estate-sale 24" barrelled `94 Marlin in 357 that already had a Marbles' tang sight installed (but apparently none of the aperture disks).On a rifle used for hunting big game, some shooters remove any
attendant disc and just use the "housing" to shoot through.
I suspect that you're far sighted as that condition generally makes itself apparent in one's early 40s. I am far sighted as well and at 70, I'm also 'blessed' with astigmatism in both eyes. I, however, still do most of my shooting with iron sights by using some optical principles I learned over the years and I'm still able to clearly see both my front sight and the target.Just a little bit of trivia,
A trip to the eye doctor told the tale, my eyes had flattened and I'd lost the ability to focus in three planes, couldn't see the rear sight, front sight & Target at the same time. My prescription changed 4 times in one year. Crap on a cracker!
Interestingly enough, without my glasses, and with a small aperture I could shoot without glasses. For some reason, looking through that little hole clears the sight picture up. I can't see crap without my glasses unless it's through a aperture sight, which makes no sense at all to me, but it does work.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I many not have explained it correctly...
He (JeepHammer's eye doctor) was dead right about loosing the abilities at 40, he was dead right on how to remedy the issues, and he keeps me shooting pretty good...
And there is that whole medical school issue, so between him and some random internet poster, I'll stick with him.
