Sights for 505 Gibbs
Any opinions on a sight to use on a 505 Gibbs for Africa -- eventually plan on hunting Cape Buffalo. I was looking at NECG 3 or 4 leaf express sights but was hoping someone with experience in Africa would share their opinion and experience on other options. For example, anyone use peep sights, ghost rings or standard adjustable? Any brands other than NECG to consider? Thanks.

I had Jim Brockman install one of his winged peep sights on my 505 and love it

A ghost ring like Phil's will give you the added accuracy and visibility needed for the longer shots sometimes needed for Buff.

I like the look of the Brockman sight. Does it seem to be well made? Easy to adjust for windage and elevation?

It is a good, rugged, fully adjustable sight
