Hello,

To me the cocking-piece aperture sight is, sorry, an abortion! Period. It increases the weight, so the time, of the firing pin. Plus, as BwanaBob observes, cycling the bolt with the rifle in the shoulder, as it should be and should be practiced a lot more today, put that aperture sight too close to the face of the shooter. Is an old solution for a peep sight, more nostalgic than useful today.
A LOT more convenient, from my point of view, is a small peep sight, more properly called a ghost ring sight, "a la" BRNO ZKK, mounted on the back of the rear scope mount base. Like that great little one offered 30 years ago by Redfield. If the rifle is without scope, a rear base can be installed to put that little Redfield type peep sight. That can be fold down to use the normal open sights.
If a precision peep sight is needed or wanted, a Lyman 48 rear bridge type is a lot more convenient.

Best!

PH
