Suggestions for NW Compatible to shoot 200 yards

[whuppinstick]

I have been using a Knight Bighorn in Idaho, but feel I am capped out at about 75 yards as the front fiber optic dot covers the animal beyond that. I've been looking into the Gunwerks sight at the recommendation of a friend, who also recommended getting the CVA Accura LR-X (with a NW conversion kit). I was reading Jim's review of the Gunwerks sight, though, and he mounted it on a Bighorn to shoot to 200.
I bought the Bighorn a decade ago for a reasonable price and may have caught myself up into assuming that it wouldn't be good at distance because of how little I paid for it.
My question for the forum is whether the Bighorn is suitable for reliable accuracy at 200 yards? If not, what is your recommendation?

You can get different sized apertures for the Williams sight and you can get different sized front beads. Beyond that, a large portion of your max effective range with open sights depends more on your personal eyesight than on what gadget you overpay for.

I say this as someone who'd struggle past 125 yards or so. If you're serious about going down this road, I'd suggest getting a .22lr trainer with a proper receiver rear sight and experiment with different front bead sizes and rear apertures and get a grasp on what YOU can do, with YOUR EYES, before you spend a bunch of money. But that's me and I'm cheap like that.

Also - shooting .22lr with a receiver rear sight is extremely fun, to me. So there's that.

The GW sight is insanely priced and 100% not worth it. Human eyes can not see good enough to ethically shot THAT far. The Williams globe and a .019 got my knight out to 200 very repeatable for $1000 less. I’ve got a weird setup on my smokeless rifle that I can dial, however about the time I get to the end of my MPBR it’s getting hard to see.

A Williams .019 fiber optic front globe and a good rear peep will do everything your eyes are capable of doing.

Anyone who wastes that kind of money on the Gunwerks Revic has got way more money than sense….
