Joe, when I was young, I wanted what I wanted, and would have had it if I could have afforded it. Back then, like now, the benefits of sight radius and focal plane forms a trade off. But the slopes of those two functions change with age and hence, so does the optimal position fo the trade off. So, back then (only 10 yrs ago) I might have had something like this.
Also, Aagard might have likened bestest with fastest, but I don't and never did. I think it has a lot to with application, and individual. And I figure that the irons are to be a last ditch alternative to the scope so sight placement might make some sense in the scope of all the various tradeoffs for what amounts to back up a sighting system. For sure, that rear sight is FAR better than what exists on most hunting rifles for back up to a scope.
If you want to do the eyesight testing thing, Paul Matthews had a pretty good way of measuring accuity in a practical target shooting sense. It is described in detail in the Paper Jacket. I'm game to help out (and do the stats of course). Don't need to fire a shot either.
And Joe, you and I can always disagree and git along. We have done it before and will do it again. Thank goodness their is still someone who will call me on things once in a while, so no worries there. After all, we shared the same foxhole that is the ASSRA and emerged victorious after all of that!
