I have a rear peep and would like to convert to the hood streamlined ramp combo...I'm not sure on what height to get? I would like to get it to close to center as possible...Thank you guys!

This is what I ordered for my bighorn.  I have the Williams FP rear peep.

From Brownells

962000016
 70031 RIFLE FIRE SIGHT HOOD  1  1  0  0  0  $7.95  ORDER SHIPPED 
962020097
 1690 STREAMLINED SCREW-ON RAMP 3/16"  1  1  0  0  0  $18.50  ORDER SHIPPED 
962564360
 56436 .375N RED RIFLE FIRE SIGHT  1  1  0  0  0  $13.60  ORDER SHIPPED 

 
The front sight (on top of the ramp) was the .375 height.  I changed the red fiber to green (it is .060 dia), I see it better in dim light

I do wish it was smaller diameter,  My old Remington is .030

I had to buy the ramp twice. :(

Works best using a sight press to put the sight into the dovetail.  My punches did not alow the ramp to survive

I put the Williams peep on the rear with a fire sight hood, ramp, and fiber optic on front. I think I got too short of a fiber optic cuz I had to do quite a bit of filing and adjusting to get the peep and bolt to work together on my knight disc. If you want pm me and I can look up what size fiber optic I pit on it .

I bought a front site ramp and hood.  The install was too hard for me. :dunno: one screw is longer than the other on the ramp, and I mixed them up. Duh.  Then when trying to beat the sight onto the ramp, the ramp came off, and the screws were now trapped under sight.  :yike:  So I put the factory front sight on.  Works good. :chuckle:
