Nice! I like what you have done there, @cgoff. Now, the next thing to do is tap the centre hole for an adjustable iris. I do like a peep sight for my ageing eyes.
I have a Williams peep on my hawken ,a little high but it works .
Pete,
Hi @zerosprk! I made this one. It's easy to do with minimal tools. I used a piece of bar stock that I trimmed down to an L shape with a file. I drilled a hole in one end for mounting, and used a store-bought bolt for fixing - this screw replaces the one that goes down through the rifle, threading into the trigger area (metric M5 is the size). The single screw has never shifted, that big flat head makes it very secure. For the aperture, I drilled and tapped a hole suitable for a discarded Parker Hale sight that I had on hand - it's got an adjustable iris to suit a range of light conditions. If you can't find one of these simply use an aperture that suits, like the ones from Lyman or Marbles receiver sights. I kept the peep low so it wouldn't catch on stuff in the bush. Elevation was determined by the correct front sight height, windage corrected by tapping the front sight left or right accordingly. Fortunately, the mounting hole is right in the centre, and the lovely long barrel makes for an awesome sight radius, improving accuracy.
Its one i made ,just copied the original buckhorn base with a peep sight. (file & hacksaw )
