So, I will be having built a custom hunting rifle built. It will be a model 70, trued, rebarreled in 300 Sherman or similar, synthetic stock, some kind of ffp christmas tree reticle scope.
So, this is about open sights....I see 3 options:
1) NECG adjustable rear barrel sight with NECG masterpiece banded ramp/bead....I have similar on my 458 Lott....great 25-100 yd sights.
2) Talley rear peep and NECG Masterpiece banded front bead...seems great for accurate sight picture, but elevation is not very adjustable....I don’t like that really, unless there are some good ideas out there.
3) NECG barrel base peep with NECG masterpiece banded ramp front bead....only problem is that peep is a bit far from the eye to be a real peep sight.
What are your thoughts? Surely the folks around the campfire know how to properly setup a Winchester 70 with proper sights!
#1. I don’t like removable peeps, or peeps too far forward.
I won’t tell you you don't need backup irons, because you already know that.
And I definitely would go with the 7mm Panzer over the 300 Sherman!
