Default Fiber Optic Sights

Now that I am in my 50"s my eye sight is no longer what it use to be ,part of growing old I guess,I have always hunted with my trustey T/C hawken .54 but have found the need to adapt to my age.
I think fiber optic sights may be the way to go,I know I can purchase the standard fiber optic sights from T/C but is there a better alternitve.

Get the steel Tru Glo fiber optic and do yourself a favor and put a green tube in the front sight. It makes it a lot easier to see. I actually think Thompson Center uses Tru Glo but if you buy the brand you can find them cheaper then through T/C.

I put a set of T/C fiberoptics on my Rem 700ML and a set of Williams on my T/C new Englander.I think the T/C sights are better,but T/C does'nt make them for the New Englander.Go figure.

Cayugad, T/C does not sell the fiber optic sights with the green in the front,accoriding to their web site you can only get the red in the front with their Fire Hawk system.
Do you know any other brands?

Tru Glow perhaps email them or a phone call and see if they can change out the sight. The real cheap one I put on my Mountain Stalker was made by Star Dot. The trouble with it is .. all plastic. I bumped a tree in the cold hunting and the sight shattered. At least they replaced it for me...

I just got myself the T/C front sight for the same reason. I got to get that front sight off without maring up.
