Now, as for which sight I would choose, well, I am a huge fan of the Marble's, simply because that windage adjustment is very handy when precise aim counts. Yep, definitely a Marble's!!

I am a AAA Class shooter in the Rifle category, and a Master Class shooter in both Pistol Cartridge and Smallbore.
