Green F/O front sight and peep is the way to go with open sights. The green is easy to see in low light without glare. Be sure the hole in the peep is large enough to see through in low light. !/4 inch or so is good. The peep will appear as a ghost ring or halo. Focusyour eye on the front sight. The deer will look a little fuzzy but the sight picture will be clean.

Bingo!!

The fiber optic thing fell off the front sight of my Encore before it got out the door of Gander Mountain. One of my muzzleloader rifles wears sights from a Remington 700. The fiber optic junk on my other two guns were removed when the guns were scoped.

Falcon .. my friend mounted those Remington high powered rifle sights on his muzzleloader. It has a small white triangle in the back and that small front sight. He can so some amazing long range shooting with them sights. I have been tempted to mount a set of them on one of my rifles. It seems he might be on to something... after reading your remarks.

He is on to something. Before that CVA Staghorn was scoped i hunted with those Remington sights on it; they are still on that gun. Killed a few deerthat way.

Thanks so much to all that replied!I will have to check out those Tru Glow fiber optic peep sights and see what they look like.Like I said I have to make a decision soon so I can sight in as season for deer comes in November,1.Man I cant believe it is almost here as this year has just flown buy.Thanks so much guys!

I use an after market fiber optic site coupled with a peep site (Hunt Washington state, no scopes on ML allowed). I find it a big help in the low light conditions of deep forest. Against a black backdrop it really works great.

I don't know if I understand the logic here. The illumination of the front site should not exceed its diameter. I put a williams rear peep site on my omega utilizing the existing front fiber optic site and have been pleased with the results. It did take some time to adjust to shooting through a peep. Once I learned to forget about the rear sight and trust that your eye will center the front site things really came together. I must admit, it helped that I put the same setup on my 22 to I could learn how to shoot a peep site; it seems unnatural to have a unfocused rear ring.

The way my eyes have gotten over the years, fiber optics are useless. I have them on my Ml but never use them. My age requires the help of a good scope and that is what I use.

Shot my optima today with the factory fiber optics today and love them. I hate big fiber optics as i have a hard time getting them to come in clear, always seem to be fuzzy.

I had to switch out the rear sight on my FL because I was seeing double. Bought a RMC Sports V peep, works well. I think a good comprimise, is a Ghost Sight.
