[QUOTE="Jlyrojer, post: 510778, member: 33267"] I appreciate the advice. I didn't think about the peep sight being an issue for the horse or scabbard. I did find a peep sight on mid-way (after hours of digging) and it should be here soon. Having spent 14 years in the Army, so the peep sight is something I am used to. So hitting my range shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, sight options are very limited when it comes to this rifle. Almost makes me want to start making sights for them because they are such a popular rifle. It makes me wonder why there aren't more options out there. However, I found that most people get one and just slap a scope on it. It's a light rifle with a short barrel. Anything over 300 - 400 yards is pushing it, but my Army buddy and I have the philosophy of "Practice the impossible so that the improbable becomes common." Basically, "Aim small, miss small." I have a box of ammo ready to go for when the sights get here and I will post the results. I may even throw in some pictures for the installation process even though it seems like it will be pretty strait forward. I am aslo working on building a 7mm REM MAG. After much research, and debating with myself, I opted for that on over a .308. The 7mm stays super-sonic out to 1400 yards where as the .308 goes transonic at around 800, depending on bullet weight and powder load. Now my problem is the range we practice at doesn't support anything past 600 yards. So it looks like I will be searching for a rancher that doesn't mind me out on his back 40 shooting a rifle.
