Knight Bighorn fiber optics or peep sights?

[Triplej]

What are the advantages and disadvantages ?

[Kioti]

I just put on a set of Williams FP Peeps on my Knight...love them.  The fiber optics that came with my Knight broke in the field.  I can see the sights better with my new peeps and my accuracy improved for me. 
Personally I would go with the peeps especially if your eyes are not what they use to be.

I too tried the Williams Peep and couldn't believe how well it worked, tightened my groups right up!

Peep.I love mine.

The peep sight is mounted far back on the receiver, whereas the standard notch rear sight is mounted about a third of the way up the barrel.  For this reason, the peep sight gives you greater "visual leverage".  Also, your eye naturally centers itself in the peep sight ring, allowing you to focus on the front sight/target sight picture. 

I did take a good number of deer with the notch sights that came on my Bighorn, but I now have a Williams FP peep, and I love it.  This sight also has click adjustments, much like a scope.  My groups tightened noticeably (probably 30-40% smaller).  Good luck!

Love my peep as well. Only disadvantage is in low light circumstance you can't find your peep very well. But other than that it's awesome and it's the sight to have

[ghosthunter]

Yep

I did the same thing. Old eyes need peeps.

Also known as sight radius. 

I love my Williams peep with a fiber optic front bead.  For those first and last few minutes, I sometimes remove the aperture to allow me to see that front bead right at LST.  I haven't lost it...yet.

I love my peep sight. In low light you can take the ring out and use just the screw hole.

You can swap out apertures on the Williams sight (and others) bigger for low light, or just remove the aperture for very low light.

[Damnimissed]

Where did you order from, everywhere I've looked is sold out? Did you go with the FP?

[Damnimissed]

Hope you didn't need it for this weekend because 2nd day air won't show up til monday

I ordered directly from Williams  they were very helpful. I ordered the fp-legend

Hope you like them! I kind of buck the trend here. I had a set each for my son and I. I put mine on last year and during target shooting I thought Wow! These are great. But when I got into elk in the timber I had to pass up shots at least 3 times. I had groups of elk pretty close together. I would see a cow, (had a cow tag) pull up on it. then couldnt be sure I was on the right 1 because the aperture blocked too much surrounding area. There were a few bulls in the herds and I just couldnt take a chance. It was extremely frustrating. I was looking at the sight picture. Then trying to peak around the aperture to make sure I was on the right elk. I pulled the peeps off and went back to fiber optic. They have worked well for me and I have killed about a dozen bulls using them. I will be using fiber optics on my Dayton muzzy bull hunt and have full confidence in them.

That said, in open areas, and where you dont have animals grouped to ether I bet they are awesome. Just not for me!

Big J's Outdoor Store in Orting has the FP Legend in stock for the knight rifles. I went to the range yesterday with just my fiber optic sights and confirmed my thoughts that I should make the investment.
