all sights and peeps included are beveled on the forward side to minimise the varying light conditions errors. u know the saying !! light up- sight up !!! . I noticed yours is beveled towards the eye. is this new school or an oversight?? I had to ask.

I do not really understand. English is not my mother tongue.
As I know, all peep sights are located as close to the eye as possible, in sport weapon and military.

I see you pulled the site for sale in the for sale section. Allow me to ask here...what is your turn around time from order to delivery? Glad you sold the ones you had, we all knew that wouldn't be a problem.
Now I sell only what I have ready, and post pictures of that sight. When I received money, I ship the next working day.

well vtoran, were in the same boat. English is not my mother tongue either and I type with one finger.
u are correct, the peep should be as close to your eye as possible. in your picture it looks like the peep
hole is beveled while normaly the peeps are flat on the part that u look through. that beveled side should
be faceing toward the muzzle end of the rifle. that beveled part will make your rifle shoot to a diiferant
spot with changing light conditions just like u moved your sight.

Now I understand. The beveled part is mate and blued (actually, "blacked"). So light conditions can not impact.
On the 1st page is the prototype, now the sight looks like this.

u should go out and try shooting with the sun on your left and and shooting with the sun on your right.
report back. me thinks u will be surprised. the old timers use to use candles to soot up there sights for
a very good reason.
IMHO the peep should be turned around.

Can turn without problem. It is symmetric.

The beveled part turned to shooter, I think, works like the sport sight.
