I put a Williams peep on mine when I first got it back in the 70's. It stayed that way until my son started hunting and I let him use it. He had trouble using the peep, so I scoped it. After he started using other rifles, I put the peep back on. A few years ago, I thought I might hunt with it some, and knew my old eyes couldn't see thru the peep, so I scoped it again. It's wearing a Nichols 2X7, as low as I could get it. Shoots great too, even better than I did with a peep.
