I am also considering putting a KNS hooded crosshair front sight on my gun. Here is a link to a discussion of what I am talking about with pictures: http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforu...ID14/1201.html

I like it alot. They seem to be very visible. This method of rear aperture and front globe (hooded) sight with insert reticle is a old tried and true sight combination. It wasused on the old big bore cartridge rifles for popping buffalo at over 200 yds. And also used in the long range competition shooting of the day. To get an idea of how far they were shooting with them, take stock of the very longtang mounted ramp theaperturewas attached to. They really lobbed away at distance targets with this set up.

I had a hard time seeing the reticle clearly in my globe front sight but if it were brighter may be i wouldn't have. Actually, I would like to try this set up someday, maybe after you report on it.

Happy Hunting, Phil
