Pioneer Arms is coming out with this. Looks dead simple to make, but if the price it right and it fits the need, this might do for some folks.

Got any photos of your sight, Robin? Some of us are imagination challenged.

No Bob, I'm sorry I don't know what happened, that site. Paul and I were having a little contest between us to sue you could make the most ugly and inexpensive peep sight. As far as inexpensive it was about a draw. On the ugly side. Paul won hands down. I think I have some pictures of my sight. If not, I'll take one and try to get on here. They both work very well and we prove the point, we set out to prove that it would not take a high dollar peep sight to play the game by the way, in that little gadgets first incarnation it was literally taped to the gun with electrical tape.
These pictures are of one I built for Tim Shaul. When I built the one for my rifle which I'll have to take some pictures of. instead of just drilling the hole. I drilled and tapped it and used a screw in Aperture.

pauls wife said paul gave most of his guns to his brother just before he died.itom probably has it, still laugh at the ugly sight contest. they were truely butt ugly but after paul hammering 3 straight xs then quiting for the day-showed me at 30 yards did not need a super expensive adjustable sight.get out your book write it down and save for the ages dag said he was wrong.
if you have pics of the original uglys please post .would make me smile

I keep watching that sight of Mark's and waiting for it to spring up and down like a diving board!!
I like the sight you built for Tim Shaul. I'll tinker with that this winter. Screw in apperatures with different size holes would let you adjust for lighting differences, cloudy day vs bright sunshine!
Thanks for the pictures.

Hi John,
I've used the rear sight pictured all season and to date there's been no springing problem. I changed the lower base to steel and the bar that the sight is on is steel. It's actually a lot stiffer than it looks.
