Ryan You dont say on which rifle action you intend to use the aperture sight. If you have a 98 action then you would be very well served with the Rigby style that is mounted on the bolt's cocking piece. These add 3 1/2 inch sighting radius to that offered by a bridge mounted unit and 13in over the express mounted sight. I have a Bridge mounted unit on my 404 and it is the only sighting equipment. On my 7x57 though I have the bolt mounted unit that winds down for when the scope is installed in QD rings. Have used the aperture out to 185yds on moving animals and like it as my primary with the scope in the day pack to be installed if a long shot offers that I cant close to under 200yds. Love the aperture sight.

There was not enough clearance initially for clearance under the scope but that was attended to and ity is a very practical sighting set-up. much prefer the handelability of the rifle without the scope though and carry it plain most of the time.
