    Got to disagree with that :) Visit any fullbore club and you will see folks shooting from 300 to 1000 yards with "open sights". Guy I know down Canterbury way recently posted a 600 yds sub-moa 10...

    Well, if I can make it to the next SI big bore shoot and Carlsen is there, I am sure we can have a fruitful discussion about the finer points of shooting iron sights :) If there is one thing I...

    You may well have a point there Moa Hunter, but since Tussock has decreed this thread to be pointless, I think any further discussion of your view would be pointless :P

    SR rules are in a bit of flux at the moment. Most of us used ARs up till CHC. In Welly it is pretty much shoot what you bring at the moment. Not sure what the AKL boys are doing. Couple of the...

    For those of you who are interested in getting some decent peep sights, Skinner make 2 versions that fit the vast majority of rifles. The "rimfire" version fits onto a 3/8 dovetail, and will work...

    Your eye can only focus on one thing. So out of the 3 (rear sight, front sight & target) try to keep the front sight in sharp focus. Not all iron sights are born equal. Peep sights such as the...
