An bolt shroud mounted (folding/removable) aperture sight is planned for my .404 build. I learned to shoot with a peep sight and it is faster and more accurate than the V notch open sight.

My Kreighoff .470 has a skeletonized see through rear sight that is really fantastic. It has a fiber optic front sight that I find to be a little large for accurate shooting. Always looking to find something better.

I’ve got the same setup on my 9.3x74R. Works well on running shots but benchrest sight it is not.

The M-16A1 and maybe the A2 had a flip over peep sight. The smaller hole provided great accuracy out to 600 yards on the man silohoutte target. I think it was the Baker or B target.

The peep could be flipped over to use the extra large "night sight". When the weapon was sighted using the night sight, one didn't even notice the aperature.

The human brain naturally centers concentric circles to include the front sight bead. A large aperature (hole) in a peep should provide acceptable accuracy out to 100 yards or further. Within 50 yards missing would not be caused by the sights.
