Sounds like a nice setup for it's purpose to me. I have a Marlin 336 30-30 with the Williams peep on the rear that I use as a brush gun, very nice. I can consistantly hit a paper plate out to 150 yards with it, not too shabby. Never thought of painting the rear peep, I may try that out, thanks for the idea. I am impressed with the Remington service in your case. Thanks again.
