‘Sights’
- Bushnell Trophy Red Dot Sight
- Millett Red Dot Sight
A peep sight is a different type of Iron Sight utilizing the front post (like normal) and a rear circular sight. By looking through the rear circle, the shooter automatically is aligning the sight, and only has to concentrate on place the front post on target. They are generally thought of as easier to shoot than Buckhorn Sights.
The Scout Rifle lists having a receiver mounted peep sight as one of its necessary attributes, to backup the Telescopic Sight in case of breakage.

An open (usually metal) sight used to aim a firearm. Usually they are included in the base model of most firearms. However, a lot of rifles come with Telescopic Scopes these days, and more rifles are shipping without iron sights. It’s also unusual to find iron sights on shotguns.
Buckhorn Sights and Peep Sights are examples of things that would generally be called iron sights.
A ”’Heinie Sight”’ is falls into the same camp as a ViceGrip; it’s used as a generic name by some, but actually refers to a specific company’s product. The Heinie sight is made by Heinie Specialty Products. Generally referred to as a “Heinie Sight”, “Heinie Straight Eight Site”, or more simply a “straight eight”. It is only available for Semi-automatic Pistols, and features a normal blade sight picture with an additional dot in the depression of the sight. This lets the shooter light up the sight horizontally (left blade, dot, right blade) ”’and vertically”’ (two dots, thereby forming the “eight”) so it should be easier to line up (in theory).
