New Williams Site Set

I got an email about these from Muzzle-Loaders.com yesterday and picked one up for my ultra-lite.  Hopefully it works out very well.

Nice, I've been really wanting this set up on my muzzleloader, but I've been buying bow tags lately. Heard a lot of awesome things about these sights.

Ya I ordered one for each the ultra lite and disc extreme, the last ones with the Lee shaver inserts sucked in low light where I think these will shine

Nice to see the Fiber is .030" and not the normal .060". I might have to get a set for my Disc Extreme to replace the ramp and hood combo I have.

This makes me happy as the Western Precision sight I put on my Accura was garbage in low light and timber. Now with this new sight she can get back on my list of guns to hunt with.

I was really hoping that they would eventually come out with something like this.  I already have a Williams sight on my muzzleloader and noticed that you can buy just the insert itself for $14 instead of buying a whole new sight.  Only drawback is those inserts are on backorder right now...

The original housing doesnt have some of the cutouts that the one that comes with the fiberoptic. so light might not be as good if you just put the fiber blade into an older sight.

Yeah, I noticed that as well and could be a factor, but I'll try it out and see how much it affects it.  Worst case, I'll just drill out my own holes.

This would be the one for the DE... the Ultra light has skinnier barrel.

Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

That looks very similar to what sabotloader told me how to build.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the Disc used the same as the Bighorn. This is a pretty intriguing option

Yes the one # 604816 works with the disc extreme!

Installed mine last night and will try and make it to the range this week but my initial observations are it's going to work out nicely. I really like the smaller fiber optic rod and the outside of the housing just so happens to perfectly line up with the inside of my peep so there is no gap or overlap if that makes sense.

Wetwoodshunter that is the set up I run on my DE. Only I custom build a front post by taking a steel sight with the brass bead and drilling it out on a mini mill and installing a .030" fiber. I found the .060" fiber was way to big and covered a deers chest completely from back to belly @150 yds. I like what I have but since the fiber in the new precision site is .030" and easily replaced I might switch to it so I don't have to go through the trouble of making a new one if I accidentally break the one I currently have.
