Pics of 8 or 81 with Williams 5D or FP-SSM peep sight
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2018 12:08 pm
Got my first Browning auto coming in a couple months, a Remington 81 in 35Rem.
It's got a Weaver detachable side mount with a Weaver K4.
Since you are not allowed to hunt big game in PA with an auto, (would absolutely love to use the 81 for deer) I figure it will make a great 'Bummin around the woods gun'.
I'm thinking an 8 in 25Rem might be a cool gun for coyote, but maybe an AR in 223 Wylde would be a better choice.
(Don't have an AR yet, and with the political climate I should probably pick what I want up sooner rather than later.
Problem is that right now my tastes are older JMB stuff and military sporters/originals, which I suppose are safe.
For now atleast.
I'm thinking a peep sight would be perfect for a woods gun. Although my gun is already tapped for a Marbles tang sight, I think of that more as a hunting peep and the prices are a little crazy.
Figure a receiver sight would be best as there is no need to fold it into position. It's always ready if I need to use the rifle quickly.
The only new manufactured peep sight I found is the Williams 5D-SSM and FP-SSM for square bridged shotguns and the Remington 8/81. Leaning toward the FP-SSM since it has micrometer adjustments, and ordering target knobs also.
Is this a good setup, or should I look into the 5D-SSM which doesn't have the internal micrometer adjustments as a better woods setup?
I would like to see any pics of this type of setup on an 8/81, haven't been able to find any.
Thanks for any help or recommendations you can give.
