I've always preferred iron sights, but I'm to the point where the usual notch and blade doesn't fall within my range of focus.
The obvious solution would be to change to a low-power scope. However, I've seen a bit of commentary about peep sights, mostly from older shooters with the same problem I have.
My particular milsurp rifle will require elaborate bracketry and some gunsmithing either way, and there's not much difference in price between a new peep sight and a modest scope, so ease of installation and cost would be about the same.
My application is primarily "minute of beer can" plinking.
It's not that I need a super-accurate sight, I just need a sight I can see.
Are the peeps as good as their advocates claim? Or just bypass the whole iron sight thing and move to a scope?
