To continue the discussion on peep sights, what about rear sights in a similar configuration as the old M1 carbine and 03A3 rear sight, top mounted with protective ears? The Lymans and similar are great for target accuracy but have always seemed a little on the weak side if the firearm is dropped on the rear bridge and sight. Yes, I know, one shouldn't drop their firearm but anyone who has packed out meat in wet snow, side hilling in the Rockies (or any steep wet hill for that matter) has had an un-intentioned tumble or two and have their firearm slip out of hand. Without support under the sight bridge (Lyman, Redfield etc.) a solid hot on a rock or log would most likely bend or even break the sight. What other options are there for a more robust iron peep sight?
