I have noticed that with an astigmatism a traditional scope or low power optic, especially an illuminated scope such as the leupold firedot, seems to be the clearest image without the starburst that seems inherent on reflex sights. Traditional rifle sights and pistols can be be difficult but of them the 3 dot fiber optics seem to be easiest to use but seem to get more challenging with longer barrels, it almost seems the increased distance between sights makes it harder to focus but that is moreso a personal observation. Personally I have found peep sights the best iron for rifles and may have to try out the warren one hole rear.

I am in a pickle with my 4” redhawk as it has a pinned front and no-one makes a replacement, I would love to get ahold of the now discontinued hiviz but may have to try an xs big dot if my search comes up dry. On other firearms the hiviz had been stellar and would recommend them highly.

The blank from bowen looks promising! I am not confident in my machining skills but may give it a try, I have been meaning to try a rough country rear for some time now so I might as well get the pair.

I have searched high and low to no avail for the old hiviz and it seems that its either xs or custom at this point. Thankfully I have some time to sort it out before this guy comes with on a bear hunt! Thanks for the ideas!

Dawson seems to be exactly what the doctor ordered. Just need to work out the required height, hiviz is 0.125x0.375 as a starting point but it will be interesting to compare it to what their sight calculator recommends. Good suggestion Wee Hooker!

Update for those interested HiViz still has the 4” fixed sight in stock, discontinued but the gent was able to pull one off the shelf and drop it in the mail straight away. Good times for those 4” fixed sight redhawks! Now just waiting for bowen to have a rear sight in stock to complete the build. Cheers!
