Just picked up this peep at Gander today. I’ve had issues using rifle sites in the past,, I just really hate how the frame covers up the whole deer at 50 yards. Any of you guys have luck with this type of peep? Sales guy said if I dont like it that I can take it back.. Gonna give it a shot!
Williams WGRS-CVA Guide Receiver Peep Sight
Sure have…standard issue on WWII Garand rifles… 
As long as you have a big enough aperature to suit your hunting needs (low light, etc…) the receiver peep is a very accurate option that will work with a fiber optic front bead also.
Many, many deer were killed with lever action rifles from the 1940s to the present in brushy thick terrain like the Upper Midwest and Canada with receiver rear sights.
Dale, Very accurate choice BUT they are a bugger in lowlight conditions even in not so low light conditions. Let us know how it works out for you. I’d even say you could loose 20 min of hunting.
I switched over one of my muzzle loaders a few years ago. I don’t think it works too bad in low light. If you have trouble, just drill out the apriture.
I just took the center apature out and use the lager outer ring (like a ghost ring) and it works perfect.
Several members of my muzzleloading group tried this same peep last year. All of them Removed it rather quickly. Like some said – they had a issue in all but excellent light conditions. I look forward to the day that Minnesota DNR gets smart and just lets us put a scope on the darn smokepoles. Given everything else that they allow for a muzzleloader ( Inline, Primers, powder pellets, Ect ) I just don’t knw why they will not budge on the scope issue. They have claimed for years they want to lower the deer levels so why not do what they can to help hunters. I’m sure there would be a lot less poor hits and loss deer. A lot of the current hunters never grew up or were taught how to shoot with open sights. Some of us older hunters have poor eye sight ( Don’t say you can get a eye Doctor to sign off ) I tried that for 2 years now. With all the legal mumbo-jumbo and threats of legal action on that form good luck getting a eye Doctor who will sign off on that. Oh well enough ranting and raveing. Let us all know how the peep sight work for you.

What did they find was best after trying this?
I had this exact peep put on this year. It is adjustable so lowlight is not a problem!

They all went back to the original Fiber Optic sights. Try the Peep site – You may like it. You may have to open up the size some. I know of one guy who painted around the peep with a Glow paint. He just shines a pen light on it for a minute or so just before the final 1/2 hour of shooting and it glows until way after he can shoot legally. You may want to try that.
