Idaho RonI would like to see the peep sight better. Does it have index marks so you can adjust it in the field to different ranges? Ron

Hot CoreHey Van, Unless a person has shot a Handgun, I doubt they will be able to appreciate just what an outstanding group that is.
Sure speaks well for the Handgun and the Trigger Yanker. Congratulations.
Do you plan to Hunt with it?

vanThe sight is off a Rem Model 700. I recut the sides of it in a mill to fit the stock,then i took the big headed screw from militarty rifle slings and cut the insides of the stock to fit them in the stock resessed to the wood. Then microbedded them in.So, when i tighted down the mount with the screws it would work against itself and not to depress in the stock. van
