CVA round barrel and williams peep sight

[gadwall]

I have a CVA Elkhorn Pro round barrel muzzleloader that I want to put a Williams peep sight on.  Tried 2 of them at Cabelas and the gunsmith and I determined that the taps in the barrel were too small and did not match the screws provided with the sight,even though the alignment of the holes was right on.  Anyone else had this problem?  I may have to have the holes re-tapped if I stay with the same sight.

thanks,

Gadwall.

gadwall,

Don't know if this is one you tried put it is supposed to be for the CVA round barrel's.

Williams Part# 70154
WGRS-CVA Round
It should come with the correst screws in the package.

I use the WGRS on my White Muzzle Loaders, I really like them.

The fiberoptic sights on the CVA Elkhorn Pro are great under low light conditions and are guaranteed for life.  Didn't think they needed changing

i like a peep sight i shoot better with one by far compared to open and the tru glo i was talking about has a small and brighter front pin the old pin covered a deer at 150  it has alot of coil around the globe in the front instead of a little stick

So, which sight do you prefer?  I may or may not change from the stock sights that came with the gun.  Shot a good muley this year (see topic "Yelp has a buck down") but I have a late cow tag coming up.  Give me the info on the sight you put on your Elkhorn to replace the original sights, how much they were and where you got them.  Thanks,  Gad.

50.00 cabelas truglo muzzlebrite globe system, go to optics under muzzleloaders and it is in there it uses a peep site on the back with to fiber optic pins in it and a small dieamiter front globe sight i love it i have one being delivered for my black diamond xr in the next couple of days to replace the williams set up its good but you will love this system i am talking about it has made my groups get smaller and smaller as i go. and it is a super brite sight because it has the truglo sight pin wraped around the front globe under a plastic cover if you stretched it out it would be like 12" long instead of the factory 1" check it out.

Carp,
I must be technologically challenged today.  I found the sight you recommend on the Tru-Glo website but can't find it in Cabela's, only the muzzlebrite sight w/o the front hood.  Please send me the link to order.  Looks like a great sight.

Thanks,

Gadwall.

i said muzzle brite sorry i should not of said that sould of just said globe sight i don't know what i was thinkin i sorry i confussed us both

[gadwall]

Thanks Carp,
The sight looks great, I like the all metal contruction of the globe.  Read the reviews on Cabelas site.  A few said they wish the rear sight had reference marks for adjustment.  Do you see this as a problem with the one you have used??


Gadwall.

[carpsniperg2]

no, my other one came today for my black diamond. what i do is take a perment marker and mark the spot wear it sits by puting a strait line from the site to the base and from the peep site to the front very easy to do and you can see if it has slipped if your lines don't match up anymore not a prob at all you will love it very solid sight. the only things the lines do if they are on there is show you wear it is siting for a reference to if you think your sight is off or to check to make sure it is still on.

Thanks for the additional information Carp.  I will be ordering one and I'll let you know how it shoots.
