Thank you. I've got it, I think.
One of the problems of being an early Cooper disciple is that it drastically narrowed my thinking. In his world, the only reason to endure the hassle and expense of installing a ghost ring is to get an actual peep sight, and one should accept no substitutes. As I understand it:
- A peep on an 870 gets you more precision (and range with slugs) with very similar speed, but the zero can wander if you separate the barrel and action.
- The open deer-hunter rear sight loses a little in precision (and range with slugs) but it's cheaper since it comes from the factory that way, plus the zero stays put.
It seems like the Haught sight would combine the expense and hassle of the peep with all of the disadvantages of an open sight, plus the zero could wander. But I'm probably overthinking it from the Cooper perspective, so I'm definitely willing to be re-educated.
Are there videos or sites that explain his sight system?
Thanks,
Okie John
