You might feel better if I were crazy enough to take and post pics of my typical groups when the sun gets involved with a front bead sight. I usually burn those targets before anyone sees them.
The only iron sights I can shoot consistently use a front sight I made myself. It is a .25 inch peep (yes, on the front). I combine it with a 0.1 peep in the rear. Works great for old eyes. The combined effect of the two peeps is to bring the target into perfect focus. Just put the target in the middle of the front peep and pull the trigger. The rear sight acts like a ghost sight, giving a fuzzy outline. After very little practice, getting everything centered is fast and goes without thinking. I find that I shoot better in the field with this setup than I do with a scope. Milk jugs at 200yds don't have a chance if I point my Rem Mo. 25 or Mo 14 their way.
I put a better scope on the Ruger #3. Testing went OK, but it was windy. I need to redo one of the scope mount holes also. It is way off center. Probably wont shoot any better when I get done, but it will look a whole lot better.
