hi, i am wondering where to look for information on the Rigby-style peep sights that you see on some of the old mausers. i would really like an introduction to the sight, how well they worked, did they suit a particular front sight better than others if used for target shooting, were they any good for target performance etc
are there any books on mausers that would cover this? an article on peep sights through the ages in a magazine perhaps?
i have had a read of the posts in the jeffrey 6.5 about that sight - is it a clone of the rigby in how it works?
as you can guess i am not knowledgeable about rifles and gear. this is just seeing something that i saw, liked and want to know more about.
lastly, could one be put on any currently offered guns (by the large manufaturers) or have sights like this had there day through current design and construction methods.
