Knight/rear peep and front hooded site setup
« on: April 01, 2015, 09:59:58 PM »
First time I've ever done this sort of tinkering. Just want to reassure myself. I added a NECG rear peep and up front a Williams ramp, fire site and hood. Does this look right?

Looks good to me. I need a hooded front sight as I have busted the glass in the front sight 3 times now. Gotta watch how you lean it on a tree when taking a break. :bash:

Looks good.

I put a Williams on mine last year.
Might try a hood. :tup:

Center the circle of the hooded site in the peeps circle.  Just like shooting a bow with a peep.

Hot Dang! That really does look good! actually the whole rifle looks good - really good... But, most would say that I am biased!

The real question will it shoot as good as it looks?

When I look thru the rear peep and out the front - It really - no I really imagine myself looking through a 1X scope....

I gotta a couple sorta like it...

Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

I have the exact sight set-up. One recommendation - Red loctite (sp?) the hood to the ramp. I learned the hard way

Thanks. I just threw it all together last night with no loctite or anything anywhere. Wanted to make sure it was right before I finalized things with loctite LOL.

Thanks for the tip.

Are these peep sites much different from the standard williams peep? I put a williams peep on my muzzie last year for my oregon blacktail hunt but kind of regretted it because all the action was in the evening and in low light I didnt care for the peep site because I couldnt see thru it. I was thinking of going back to the open sites after that experience. Nice looking muzzies guys.
