Apologies for intruding a little here as I'm not a double rifle owner and I know that a DG rifle's sight requirements are usually different than most other rifles.

On my Marlin 1894 and 1895 I have a fairly wide aperture on the rear and an XS-type front sight as I've found notch rear sights difficult to line up. Ageing eyes probably don't help, either. However, I recently acquired an SMLE Nš1 barrel to replace the shot-out one on a Martini carbine and once I re-marked the vertical line on the rear sight, then installed a home-made "white-line" sight (originally made as a taller alternative on a Nš4 sporter,) I was surprised how good the sight acquisition is:


(Sorry, I couldn't get them both in focus)

This shows the front sight in focus although at the expense of the rear one:





The white line on both sights is a thin strip of Scotchlite- the same material used on stop signs (overprinted with transparent red ink to expose the letters), so it reflects ambient light.
