What type of rear sight do you all prefer on your DR? Pictures are always helpful but a simple description or manufacturer/model wold also be valuable. Eric NRA Benefactor TSRA Life DRSS Brno ZP-149 45-120 NE | ||

Peep!!!!!!!!! Express sights look better but peeps are faster and more accurate. | |||

My choice is going to be a small reflex red dot. But I am putting it on a "trash" Sabatti so it's OK that I am different. Larry Sellers SCI(International)Life Member Sabatti "trash" Shooter | |||

What type of rear sight do I prefer on my DR? Which ever one has one of the big five standing behind it! | |||

Uh, I suppose that would be in front of it... But I am quite happy with the shallow V on my VC. | |||

All my DR s carry the Dokter red dot sight with qd mounts,they work extremely well for me,three DG hunts with no issues at all,my second choice would be a peep sight setup,if neither is possible,I would settle for a traditional shallow v but with a slight notch in the middle to match the contour of the front bead.

Thanks all. I guess the next question is which peep/ghost is preferred. Is there a particular brand that you like? Eric NRA Benefactor TSRA Life DRSS Brno ZP-149 45-120 NE | |||

If I had the opportunity to have a new DR build I would consider this sight. I have them on all of my bolts.  | |||

I prefer the shallow V express sight with silver/plat line or triangle. The sight that Zephyr shows here looks great. Not only for the windows and the fiber, but also for the small index notch for viewing the front bead. I've had several rifles with that minute feature - which has made a big difference in speed and accuracy. _________________________________ Self appointed Colonel, DRSS | |||

I saw a publication recently with a DR that had this rear sight, I use a green fiber optic front sight but you could use a standard gold or silver bead or even a large "night" sight. The beauty of this sight is the ability to see thru | |||

I've never used, nor desired, anything but the first leaf of express sights. I've always shot Winchesters better with aperture sights (back in my single barrel days) but peeps seem out of place on most doubles. That said, I've seed a few from the vintage years that look very nice. But, these new-fangled sights, well, don't get me started……… Cal _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||
