I have a Williams rear peep and a front fiberoptic bead
Where is your peep sight out on the barrel or on the rear of the reciever?
I really feel with a peep that site location is really important, for me the peep at the rear it offers a better site picture.
I have a v fiber optic as the rear site and but with a rampWilliams fiber front site with a open hood (so light can get into the fiber bead)on that. I installed these on a bare GM barrel that I purchased and put into a TC Hawkin stock. The front ramp with hood forms a circle around the target area or animal and the bead is in the center of that circle. I am a scope shooter so this site picture really appeals to me. Now this was a 1000 years aga, but when I was shooting 22's in competion I was also using a rear peep and a hooded front site with an inserted apeture and I really liked that also. So what I have installed really is comfortable for me.
+ plus I try to most every chance I get to shoot 150. I normally shoot 75 yards (with open sites)and follow that up with a few shots out to 150. At 150 my target is red paper plate for my wifes picnic goods or a breakable target of my choice usually a large rock in the rock pit. I try to pick a rock that is about the size of a decent whitetail. I will shoot that rock in almost any shooting conditions, but for a real animal things have really got to be right and the animal really needs to be a quality one. + it would have to be an open shot, a shot that I could see the results after the smoke cleared, I think you know what I mean - I do not want to have to guess.
The Williams I installed were not designed for an octagon barrel, they were ment to go on a round barrel but I used fiberglass to flatten the bottom and then milled the bottom flat and perpendicular.
I hope you can visually imagine what I am talking about for a site picture.
Sproulman has been really talking up this new v-peep that RMC is marketing - I think I understand his description and if I were in the market for a new site system I would really need to look at them.
Do not know if any of this helps, give a shout if I can help with better details.
