Mid Bead
It always seemed to me that the Parker/King like way to install beads would be to have a jig that dropped over the rib and located the holes. I have an SC and a 32 inch PH that have beads separated by 18 inches precisely. Two obvious competition guns measure 16 1/2 and 14 1/2. Field guns are in the same range.
I think that the proper spacing for a mid bead is at the distance that it appears to be the same size as the front bead. This allows the "figure 8 " line up to work relative to the mount and also helps the dominant eye problem as Francis suggested.
Hope to see many of you at Baltimore
Best, Austin
