For competition, we had to use the stock Lyman Peep Sights, which came on the unit.
I added the 4x Bushell scope to get out to 75-100yds, since we only shot 50’, 75’ & 100’ NRA Matches. I later used the scope to hunt rabbit and squirrel for dinner, at camp.
Now, Dad uses it to shoot groundhogs out of his 2nd story office window, at home. He’s bagged almost 300 in 29yrs. It’s a 3/4” tube, so I bought a new 4x scope with 1.25” tube and larger eyepieces for him.
Freedom Armory is cleaning it and fitting the scope. My Beowulf is down there, too, waiting for one of the Viridian laser/light units and bevel mount for the Pic rail, so it doesn’t interfere with the new SigSauer illum scopes I got for it and the Henry .357 Mag ‘Big Boy’ units.
The other A3 Carbine AR-15 I took down, is all retrofitted and smacking sweet with accessories.
Dad also got a S&W 642-2 .38 Spl concealed hammer for his CCW. The 1911s’ and 9mms’ slides were too much for his 89yr old hands.
What’s the trigger like on the S&W?
It’s a nice gun but the sights suck.
We had the peep sights on the rifle team in college. I only did it for a couple years because you had to join ROTC your junior year.
