marv -

Give me 24 hours to talk to the wife and get some more feedback here? I have been thinking about this and REALLY want one. Your offer is a great one and I don't want to miss out!!!

For those who have used it ....

Is it adjustable enought that I could set a zero for say 50 yards, then another for 100 yeards, another for 200 .... ??

Some of the peep sights I have looked at reqire a screwdriver to adjust the elevation. Trying to sterr celar of that if I can.

I want something I can hunt with, but adjust as the conditions dictate. Here in Montana the shots can range from 50 to 250 yards. I don't plan on shooting anything at 250, but ya never know :wink:

I am useing one on my .357 maximum, Took a real nice doe with it yesterday. I am useing it with a .22 hornet front blade, it's taller than the magnum sight and its adjusted kinda on the low side it would be easy to raise it to get much more range. The graduations are very easy to read but I haven't tried to range it past 80yrds its zeroed at 50 and I shot the doe at 30 so don't need much else around here. But I like the sight picture and it works.
