  Granted you will pick up additional sight radius but cocking pieces have vertical and side to side clearance in order to slide freely under all sorts of conditions. Consequently, they may not end up in exactly the same place each time the striker is cocked.
  A click on a scope or micrometer rear sight is an infinitesimal movement but meaningful at the target.
  If they made a lot of sense today, I believe someone would be making them.
  A rigid micrometer peep sight should be more accurate.

  I have one on my Krag that replaces the magazine cut off switch.
