Front Sight options
I'd like your opinion on a few different types of front sights for my Winchester 94. Specifically front reticle (made by KNS), globe and tunnel (various manufacturers). I am using a Williams peep on the rear and I think having another tube on the front may make lining things up a little quicker. Getting rid of the brass bead on the front might make me a little more accurate. Any other related thoughts would be appreciated. THANKS!

I've used a Lyman globe with inserts and a rear peep. IMHO it's excellent for target work but not worth a dead rats butt for hunting.

FWIW, a shooter's not supposed to "line things (sights presumeably) up", when using a peep sight - it defeats the design. Peep sights were designed to be used via simply looking THROUGH the aperture (not "at" it) w/o seeing it - focusing upon the front sight, and placing the front sight "on target". The target, beit game or bull, should be a bit fuzzy/out-of-focus. . |

My problem with using it deer hunting was the globe blocked enough of the deer you couldn't tell exactly where you were aiming just the general area.

Thanks for the feedback Hawg. That leaves the aperture with crosshair as the better choice since this will be my backup deer rifle. It's not unusual for me to loan this rifle out to a buddy having rifle problems or a newbie. I don't want to have to explain that it's not set to "shoot the bead", but instead place the top of the bead at the POI. Crosshair'ed aperture should eliminate that problem and cover much less of the target.
Thanks again
