I have two lever guns that I've been trying to find the optimal (for me) sight configuration for. I like aperture sights with front post, but I can also shoot the semi-buckhorn / front bead setup just fine too. I'm trying to find a combination that works better in low light situations. I've extensively searched the forum for related threads and found some that were helpful, but I would still like to get some opinions on specific questions:
The standard sights on my Marlins work okay in daylight, but are hard to see in low light. I'm wondering if the white diamond insert in Marble's rear sights would help -- can anyone give an opinion on this? Also, there are various front beads available. I know a 3/32" bead would be easier to pick up in low light than the normal smaller bead, but I'm wondering if it would be too imprecise at 75-100 yd ranges?
One of my rifles currently sports a ghost ring / front post sight setup. Again, the front sight is a bit difficult to see when light starts to get dim. I know the XS front sight has a white line on the rear edge of the post. Can anyone tell me how well this works in low light? Also, is it easy to adjust to using this sight with a six o'clock hold? (I use center hold with bead sights)
One more question: I'd like opinions on ghost ring sights versus regular open sights for moving targets. Is one better than the other? Thanks for any replies.
