I just picked up an L1A1, this thing is a beast and great fun to shoot.
I fired it at 25 yards today and found the sights very quick but I'm wondering about precision at longer ranges. On my rifle at least the rear peep is HUGE It's almost like looking through the ghost ring on my 590 (it's not quite as big as that but it's close). This is great for visibility and quick acquisition ( like a ghost ring), but I think I'm going to have a hard time of it at longer ranges. I'm sure with practice and a rock solid cheek weld I could do okay, but I think a little smaller peep would help out. So two questions:
1. For you fellas with this sort of peep on your FAL what techniques do you use at long range and how much success do you have producing tight groups
2. Where do I get a smaller peep for this thing? For this kind of rifle and the purposes I have in mind, I actually really like the big peep for close work, but would like to have the option of a more precise sight. Some thing like the dual mode flip on an AR15 would be perfect, anybody make something like this?
