To Peep sight or not ?

I played around with it today, ended up with factory sights back on gun, best option for my 67 yo eyes!
 
Here's mine after putting the lume powder on. I ended up using the Lee shaver large dot size because my barrel is 36" and my max distance will be 150yd. The large size dot is about 0.040 and easier to get the glow paint on.

First I put a coat of white nail polish on the dot as a primer. The watch people say using a white background makes the lume powder glow a little brighter. Then I mixed some of the powder with clear coat nail polish. I trial and error mixed it until I got a mix that was liquid enough it would go on easily but thick enough it would be bright. I applied the mix with a toothpick.

This is a combo of the Lee shaver dot on post and the Lee shaver fine cross hair, which is about 0.015ish wire reticle.

I hit it with my headlamp for a few seconds before taking this picture and it glowed for about 20 minutes. You can see it reflecting off the top flat at the bottom.
