This neophyte will throw his two cents into the fray...

I have often wondered about a set up like DeakonG describes - a rifle sight whose two-dotted bullhorns close up to form a ring, thus a hybrid ghost-ring/rifle sight. I'd also like to see the rear sight barrel-mounted, primarily because I lke that location, it works well with my eyes, but also to avoid that re-zeroing thing that Dave McC talks about, when the rear sight is mounted on the receiver...

And I'd like to see the whole setup in cheap-ass fiberoptic stuff (looks like fishing line to me) instead of tritium...

Just thinking out loud here...
