Can anyone explain how the horizon line on the ARMS #40 aperture works. On the Bushie website it says something like leading targets.

It doesn't work, PERIOD. The sight is so close to the shooters' eye that the horizon line is too far out of focus to even be visible, much less use as a sighting device. This is why [b]ALL[/b] rifles with notch rear sights place the rear sight out on the barrel. The only thing the horizon line aperture is good for, is making it easier to squeeze a BUIS over it.

2 BUIS on top of eachother? [;)]

I think Zardoz means "squeeze an optic over it".
