No need to apologise for contributing to a discussion on iron sights. You have raised a very valid point, one that Ross Seyfried published an article on years ago, although in your case I believe you would be better-off with a platinum insert, so it will still be there after you have pushed through a brushy gully!
I realized after posting that I should have mentioned that the front sight stripe isn't all that durable. (And it's not practical to try and fit a "window" hood to it.) I agree about widening and deepening the rear notch. I'm also thinking of looking for an appropriate Parker-Hale rear aperture sight, which I would probably enlarge the aperture on.
I miss Ross's articles in Rifle Magazine. Apparently he didn't get along with the staff, though and was let go.
