Peep sight

[Fantail]

Anyone here use a peep with a smoke pole? 

Friend at work and I were talking mz's and I'm still using irons - thinking about upgrading a little.

I switched to a peep years ago. Open sights no longer work well with my old eyes, but the peep works as well as ever.

I bought an aftermarket tang peep from TC for my old Hawken. On early models ( like mine) you may have to drill/tap the tang to mount the sight, but later models already have the holes.

The first thing I did was to drill the aperture out to about 1/8". the one that comes with the sight is fine for target, but too small for hunting, IMHO.

I use the standard bead front sight that came on the rifle.

It works very well and is quick and accurate. Since I went to the peep the rifle has accounted for a number of whitetails plus a 6x6 bull elk.

So far sounds good. Appreciate the info.

MZ starts in a few days so I'll slug it with irons for this season, and pursue a decent peep with time at the range for next season.
