Looking For Lyman Sight
Hey guys, I've been searching the net for a Lyman 57GPR peep sight. Tried Track of the Wolf, Dixon's, and about a dozen others. Everyone has them on backorder. Seems Lyman got caught short on production because of a high demand created by a change in the law in Pennsylvania. Anyway, if anyone has a gun shop near them that has one in stock please let me know.

The 57SML is the same as the 57GPR with one exception, the GPR version has a wedge adapter to get the correct angle above the tang. Lyman does sell the wedge separately, at least they did when I asked them last year.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
Tell me about these things, guys. Am I wasting my time? Are they useful sights? I've heard good and bad - great sights for accuracy/target shooting, butworthless for hunting (uselessat dawn and dusk). Is that true.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
I rarely use an aperture in any peep sight. I use them as a "ghost ring" and find they are just as accurate in most situations and a lot easier to see through.
I prefer the T/C sight that is not as bulky. The 57SML is a good sight, I just prefer something smaller.

RE: Looking For Lyman Sight
I am not sure what the model number is on my Lyman sight on my Lyman MZ. I do use the twilight peep. You will definitely shoot more accurately with your peep sight. It is good enough for the miltary??? So I am sure it is good enough for a hunter. Buffalo Arms may have one in stock. I think I ordered mine directly from Lyman. Tom.
