Default RE: Need recommendation for iron sites for Omega

Thanks for all of the replies. I really liked the idea of the rear peep but I also wanted to make sure that the front site was thin enough that it wouldn't cover too much of the target. When I was searching Cabelas for the ghost ring truglow I found one called the Tru Glo Globe Site Muzzle-Brite for 50 bucks. It comes with a rear ring site and a hooded front site. I've played with combo's like this before using a front cross hair site from KNS out of Texas and the Williams peep rear site. The rear site was never tall enough so we had to have shims made for it and I just never was as happy with it as the stock sites. The front site allowed a very fine aim but the hood is about a .3 inch hood that doesn't allow enough light through to see the target. This new site addresses all of those concerns. The front globe is a barrel 7/8 of an inch outside with a 1/2 inch inside area. The front site has a dot of fiber optic cable that is wrapped inside the globe to increase brightness. The rear site is a regular ramp site that has a 1/4 inch aperture and I know that seems big but if you put it on the back of the barrel (where the original rear sight was attached)it provides a very clear picture. There are dots on each side to help level the gun. Since they sell both pieces the should (in theory) line up better than my previous attempt.
I can't wait to take this thing out (this weekend weather permitting) to see how it shoots. So far I'm excited about the prospects.
The package contained hardware and instructions for mounting this site to a traditions, knight/remington, CVA and T/C.

I would attach pics but I don't know how...
I'll let you know how the shooting goes whenI get a chance.
thanks again,
will
