Truglo muzzleloader ghost ring

[MarkyMark]

I got my new left-handed gunsmith screwdrivers the other day so I installed the Truglo ghost ring sight on my CVA Optima V2. Worked out pretty good.

Are you putting the globe on the front also?

[Mfowl]

I have that sight on my Traditions Vortek along with the front globe sight as well. Its a nice set up, shoots well and a big sight picture. Careful not to tighten your elevation screw too tightly, the head strips easily. I know from experience.

I'm not sure about installing a globe. I don't know a thing about them or what they look like (I'm a bit of a greenhorn). I did install the Truglo front sight that came in the kit as well. It's a little larger diameter than the stock one.

Not a huge fan of the Truglo...but if I were to do it, I would set it up like you have it.  I may even consider the smaller, original, front sight.  It will not cover up as much of your target at longer ranges.  I really am not a fan of the globe up front.

I put the truglo on a couple of years back.  I didn't care for it at all.  Imo very cheap and wasn't on my gun for very long. 4 Shots removed and put the williams peep on. I hope you like it more than I did.

Williams all the way!!

I'm not sure which sight is lesser quality, the Durasight that came with the rifle or the Truglo. Great thing is it seems I have options and a little time before September rolls around.
Here's the front sight:

I do like the fiber optic on the front site. 

What is on the end of your ramrod?  Never seen that before?

Truglo doesn't offer the globe front sight for ML's anymore, just for airguns now. I will admit that Truglo is not the best quality of product out there. However the bead on the globe front sight is far smaller than any other front bead I have seen around, perhaps 1/3 the size. I've found it to be very accurate and you can see far more of your target at greater distances.

...that's what she said.
CVA is producing those palmsaver ramrods for other brands as well. Check their website.

Mfowl. I think you might be right regarding quality. The allen head adjustment screws basically wallered out after a few adjustments. And very difficult to fine tune. I'm just going to put the OEM sights back on for now.

The Truglo was a chunk of turd. So I ponied up and purchased the Williams set up. Mounts just in front of the breach plug and all the correct screws came with for a simple installation. Can't wait to try it out.
