Hi,
I started with a peep site on my 1895G. It was ok, but it just didn't deliver the accuracy I wanted. I will admit if your primary purpose is hunting and fast acqusition, it would be ideal for that. I ended up getting a XS levelscout rail and putting a Banner dusk to dawn intermediate eye relief scope on it so I could mount the scope forward enough that I didn't have to use a hammer spur. I hate those hammer spurs. Anyway, my accuracy improved greatly lookng through glass and while I agree the rifle lost a bit of its old west look, but I like the increased accuracy.
By the way, if you are looking for the peep site, XS's fine peep sight system is on sale at Midwayusa right now...
Good luck,
Alan
