The express peep sits at the right distance for my eyes. Took a couple shots to get it sighted in at 50 then went to a 100 yd target. Tad high but I'll probably leave it alone. 4 shot is just under 1.25", 3 shot just under 3/4". Probably about as good as I can do anymore. It likes this load, that's good because I got a crap ton of those Sierra 150's.

I have 7600 Carbine with a monte carlo stock. I've always wanted to put a peep sight on it, but heard that a lot of guys don't like using them with the higher comb. Do you wish it had a straight comb?

To be honest I never even thought about it. Shouldering it up it's not like I have to move my head around at all to make things line up. Possibly have to burrow in a little harder on the stock than I would with a straight stock I don't know. Like I said it hadn't occurred to me because it seems to be on point.

Not to be a smart aleck and none of us can help how we're made, but I suppose if a fella had a big head with more distance between his cheekbone and eye the monte carlo type stock might not feel natural with a peep.
