It's going to depend on whatcha still gots for eyesight. 20 years ago when I could still see clearly, I preferred a bead in dull gold/brass for woods shooting with a peep. I could make head shots on squirrels. The problem with the globe style like the 17 is the hood. Not enough light on the sight. There are front sights made with a sliding hood that allows in light, although locating them and paying for them can be hard. Used to be the advertisers in the ASSRA or Single Shot News offered them. Not sure if they are still around, but I'd start looking there.
