Default RE: Lyman 57SML & a 17AEU

I have that rear sight on my Lyman. I have peep sights on alot of my rifles. However I do not like your front sight choice. I have too much trouble picking up light in hunting situations with that type of front sight. I prefer a tall, narrow body, white front bead. I use the smaller bead. I like my front bead to be at least.433 tall. I even like the .466. Height is not a problem since you already have the adjustable rear peep, plus you are probably only wanting to shoot out to 200 yards. 200 yards is no problem with the set up I am describing.

It is not that I dislike your front sight choice-I just can not get the light that I need to hunt with. I also like the larger peep, or the twilight peep. Tom.
