Cocking-piece aperture sights on heavy recoiling rifles?
      28/11/19 03:51 PM

I am in the process of building a .500 Jeffery on an original Obendorf Mauser 98. As I am slightly short-sighted, and can no longer use open sights very well, I am looking to mount an aperture sight on this rifle. I already have a Lyman receiver sight that I might fit to this rifle, but I really like the Rigby style, cocking piece aperture sights.

My question, is whether such sights are too close to the eye when dealing with heavy recoiling rifles? I have read comments that they should NOT be used with heavy recoiling rifles and have read other comments that contradict that view.

What is the consensus here... do, or do not, use a Ribgy style cocking piece aperture sight on a heavy recoiling rifle?
