Noting wrong with that shootin'. It appears your rifle may be one of those that likes many different combinations.
Thanks for posting your results. Enjoyed it.

Did you get a Buckhorn rear sight with it too? For me, it's a lot easier to aim but some purists look down their noses at them.

This is the only sight that came with the gun PH. It's blued - the camera flash makes it look shinier than it really is. I will likely file it flat across the top to make a Patridge sight of it. I find a Patridge the best of iron sights for my eyes.

This is the sight I put on the one I built. There's just something about the sight picture that makes it easier for me to use. Being adjustable is a nice thing too.

I have one of those in the parts box. Took it off of my .54 Great Plains when I mounted a Lyman 57 peep on that gun.
So I could use it on the .50. Notice that it's flatter on the sides of the notch than then one on in my picture. That will give you a more precise sight picture. But I would be tempted to square the notch off a bit and make it wider to give more daylight between the sides of the front sight and notch.

As you probably already know, Track of the Wolf has about a hundred sight variations. I've called them about other stuff and they're both friendly and knowledgeable. If you describe what you want, they could surely give you a few choices. Except for the peeps, most of them are relatively cheap. I'm almost 59 years old but my eyes feel MUCH older. I pretty much keep most of my iron sight/peep sight shooting to 50 yards.
