I tried using my grandfathers big bore 94 375 Winchester, one day, and an early morning buck eluded me. I tried to find him in the shadows, looking through the peep sight. No bueno. Never took that rifle hunting again!!!! That was in the dark forests of Oregon.
Similar story for me.
I was hunting on a tree farm in western Washington with a brother in law who had a peep-sighted Sedgley 1903 Springfield. We got back to the truck with a little more light than expected. I could still see the reticle on my 4x scope but he couldn't see his sights.
He switched to a scoped Ruger Model 77 after that.
