What type of sights (non-optic/dot) are fastest to acquire targets?
We have this rimfire steel plate shooting competition at my club and I want to prepare a .22 rifle to shoot this match. We shoot from 7 yards to about 45 yards, timed -- fairly easy targets, the faster the better. The stock sights on my venerable Remington 550-1 are very dated but I love the rifle and shoot it well so I would like to update it.
What do I look for? The rules say "no optics or electronics" but fiber optics are OK. Some people I have talked to say a "large ghost ring sight", others have said "buckhorn" or "express" sights. Thanks.
