RE: Ghost ring sights, how accurate?
Hi Nomercy,
It's important that those of us that know the difference between standard "peep" sights and "ghost ring" sights don't confuse someone that may not understand the difference between them......which is largely only the size of the rear aperture. And as you pointed out peep sights are very good hunting rifle sights when used in the right applications. I personally wouldn't use "ghost rings" for any normal hunting rifle. Though I very might consider them on a really heavy caliber stopping rifle! (Quite a number of African professionals are doing exactly that!) But those are not .35 Whelens either.
On the other side of the coin you wouldn't want someone to think that an extremely "small apertured target peep" should be mounted on a normal hunting rifle either. Normally the apertures on most of Williams peeps are just about right for normal hunting application. Though with the threaded sight the aperture itself can be changed and adjusted. Which is the best system for normal hunting ranges!
I'm not contradicting what you said.......only pointing those things out for the benefit of some that may not know!
