R1/HW80 rear sight

Seldom having the opportunity to shoot farther than 25 yards in my backyard, I prefer open sights on most of my air guns simply for lighter weight and ease of handling.
The factory sights are quite acceptable but I would prefer a rear peep/diopter sight mounted at the rear of the receiver.
I'm thinking something basic.
What is available that fits the bill?
Or is this not a good idea?
Regards.

It's a great idea. I use the Williams FP-AG-TK on all my HWs when going peep sight. Have even used the Williams on my hard kickers like the FWB Sport. NO problem as long as you mount it, properly. Go easy on the two small Allen screws. You can strip them pretty easily. Use the screw on the cross bar for the main tightening.
Here's the Williams on my HW35E

It is hands down the best rear sight for the money!
Pick whatever front sight insert you like. Your eyesight will be the limiting factor.
