Smaller Peep Hole in MOE Rear?

[rraisley]

Oops, dumbest first post in the history of net forums. I have only owned my MOE 1 week but yet failed to notice that there IS a second larger aperture on the rear MBUS sight. I like them better now. Sorry guys

That's the way it usually is. Some are looking for larger apertures, some, like me, are looking for smaller ones....

I cut off the tab with the smaller aperture.

Because most of my shooting is close and fast I don't need the small hole. So I Dremelled it off. I hated the way it defaulted to the smaller hole. If I need a BUIS I need it NOW. If I have the time to mess around switching aperture sizes, that's when I'll need the smaller hole.

I intend to start off with something like that. But the day after I posted, my father-in-law died, and I doubt I'll be getting to the range for a little while.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

ah sorry to hear man.

well we're always here to do some "bench racing" with you, i find its a lot cheaper than actually going to the range.

You may be looking at this all wrong....Forget the pun.....To solve your problem as first discribed you need to get rid of the post front sight.....You need a round aperature front sight....The best would be to have several different size front aperature holes for various size targets or distances......And the same would be nice for the rear, but you can to some extent ,as you know, make the rear larger or smaller by moving your eye closer or further from the aperature hole.....The key here is very simple you need a rear aperature hole, which you have, actually a choise of two sizes.....Next buy a round hole aperature front sight to replace the post sight..... get several sizes and they are available and screw right in.....Think the sight set up system as centering a hole on a hole with the target in the middle....your eye will easily do the centering work automatically...Your only job is to pick the right size hole for best clarity and pulling the trigger.....Stop trying to deal with a post front sight...,.your eye can not and will not self center on a post front sight without fighting with itself to try and focus back and forth on three things at the same time......This is exactly what you discribed in your original posts.....This will help a great deal with shooting irons........best regards plum

Why? I liked the pun.

..Stop trying to deal with a post front sight...,.your eye can not and will not self center on a post front sight without fighting with itself to try and focus back and forth on three things at the same time......This is exactly what you discribed in your original posts.

While that makes sense, I cannot visualize a round circle front post. But I still think I'll have a problem with the large, fuzzy rear aperture.

Thanks to those who offered condolences. We appreciate it.

Of those who shoot irons, from a bench, for match accuracy or competition, with any rifle, 99% use front and rear aperature sights, and that's a fact Jack.......best regards Plum

Yup, take a look at the match gun on the "other .22" thread.
