Peeping with .22s

[Head Mule]

Curious about peep sighting on a couple 22s. My friend has a model 270 Winchester he would like a peep on, and I'm seriously thinking of putting one on either my Henry pumper, or a 10/22. Having trouble finding suitable mounting options on the interwebs (Google dont know everything apparently). A scope has been suggested.... but the appeal of fundamental simplicity has me wanting to peep.

I put this on an old Mossberg single shot 22 and I love it. Not a peep sight though, more of a ghost ring. But it just replaces a regular dovetail rear sight. I use it with the original front sight post and can hit 5" steel at 100yrds.

The Bullseye rear sight naturally centers the front bead much like an aperture sight but with improved target visibility. Young or inexperienced...

My Henry small game carbine came with a Skinner peep sight. Don't know if it will fit yours but it's really nice.

Hmmm... I wonder if this would work on a Henry .22. My old eyes need all the help they can get and I really don't want to add a scope or red dot to it.

Tech Sights are good for the 10/22

It's cheap enough to find out.

That may just be the thing for that model 270. And I like the idea for maybe even my 30/30. Thank you

I may just need to find a different place to look. I think Brownells was sold out of them a few weeks ago . They look great though

I just saw that yesterday on a small game. Henry used to sell peeps directly a few years ago. I wasn't thinking about it then but, I just can't bring myself to scope such a beautiful rifle and the peep looks like it belongs there. My eyes should do better with that im thinking
