tru glo globe front sight and rear ghost ring

[usmc74]

The barrel on the BH is .85 in diameter.  Most sights are made for .875, so some "fitting" is necessary.

Did you put a filler screw into the other hole at the front sight?

Carpsmiperg2, you can prob bump your number up to about 45/50 people switching over to these new sights!! 

Shorthair15, I'm really glad you posted this...and that I found this sight and read this!!   

I just saw that sight on MidwayUSA and was thinking about changing my sights and thought this looked like a good sight, but was somewhat wary about them since I was unable to physically look at them.  Seeing so much positive feedback on this sight, I'm going to have to place an order, but its so close to the muzzy season that I don't think I'll change it out till next year so that I have the full year to get use to them.  Who know, maybe I'll go crazy and put them on as soon as i get them and go shooting!  I need to shoot these TMZ's more anyways!!

so close to muzzle season we got till end of sep that is more then enough time. you will love it man i think i need to aplly for pro staff with them as well or maybe get a cut of the sales at 50.00 a pop and 45 people thats a lot of money

I just placed an order too.  Found it at Crossfire Outdoors for $42.99 plus $2.95 shipping for a total of $45.94. Took me a while to find one cheaper than Optics Planet.

They must have raised there price, I'm ordering them now and they are $45.  Still, not a bad investment for accuracy!!

ya got that right

  I just got my set of sights in on Friday and got them mounted.  They really look nice on my rifle and I love the way they line up!!!

Mounting was simple, just remove the old one and put the new ones on.  I had some trouble with the front sight for I did not have a screwdriver at home that was small enough to fit in through the hole on the top of the front sight.  I had to take it into work that evening and use the screwdriver set we had at work.  Two of my co-workers laughed at how big the front globe was, but then I had them look through the sight and they both fell in love with it  .

Today I went shooting and was able to get it in the black at 25 yds with 3 shots with my first shot being almost 18 inches low..as can be expected with new sights.  At 50 yards after 2 shots I was again in the black, and I took it out to 100 yds and was on black my first shot, but then fell on and off of black as I was making my adjustments starting off by being dead center to the right by 4 inches.  I keep making to large of adjustments  .  After my last shot, I was 5 inches to the left and 6 Inches high.  Just need to come over to the right and drop about 2 Inches and I'll be set  !!  I ran out of bullets at the range  .  I spent all day yesterday driving From Yelm to Federal way looking for TMZ's but everyone is sold out, So I just placed a Barns order and will hopefully have 48 bullets by Friday, and then I need to go shooting some more.  Hopefully I can get to where I need to by in my next 5-10 shots then take another 5 shots to make sure I can hold a 5 shot group at 100 yds.

The adjustments are free floating (meaning no clicks) so its easy to under or over adjust the sight, And I did this several times which really sucked for I only started the day with 13 bullets...and now I'm down to Zero remaining.

This is a GREAT sight, and I've already showed it to my hunting partners and a few guys who own muzzle loaders at work and have already sold 5 sets for Truglo, and that only after having them for 3 days  ....and I'm sure I'll sell more for TruGlo as more and more folks see me with this sight.  I'm thinking of perhaps ordering a few more just in case they are discontinued when I go to purchase another muzzle loader.

do i get one to glad you like them

Ok, I can't remember if I updated this post in a while.  I had previously added the rear ghost ring but I finally added the globe front sight and I love it.  So you can now officially add me to the official tally of converts as well.   

[carpsniperg2]

will do you will really like them out hunting they are sweet as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ML_Hunter]

36 rounds fired down range and still not tuned in  .  I was close at one point (one inch low, 4 inches to the left), but now I have to bring it back into 25 yards and start from scratch after trying to make an adjustment to the right.  Ideally I'd like to be 3-4 inches high dead center, but I'm having trouble making the adjustments.  If I can bring it back to being in the black at 100 yards (with in a 4 inch area of the bull) I'll leave my sights alone until after hunting season to get it fine tuned. Right now I just need it sighted to where  I can hunt with it.

Its a great sight other than the adjustment!!  I think that the rear sight either needs lines on it so i can see how much I'm moving the sight rather by moving it by feel.  I'm going back to the range later this week and Rick (the rangemaster at Evergreen Sportsman Club) is going to help me bring it back in.  I should have left it alone after I was "close" at 100 yds.

[carpsniperg2]

yeah that is the only thing i wish it had was lines to tell how mush it was moved. i mark mine with a pencil then adjust it and erase the mark that it was on and draw a new one. then once my gun is sighted in, i mark it with a perm marker

[ML_Hunter]

Once I have it sighted in I plan on marking it so if my screws should ever loosen I can simply put it back to where I marked it.  Did not think about using a pencil.  I have one in my rig and will try it.  I was getting really flustered and after throwing 36 rounds down range...I was really getting frustrated and that's when I need to stop shooting.

[carpsniperg2]

yeah a guy has to moce them a little because it goes a long way and if you don't have the marks its hard to tell how far it was moved. but they key thing is: what did your groups look like?

[Whitelightning]

For the price I would expect the site to be properly appointed, as in have an adjustment marking system. Don't bump em in the field !!!!

[carpsniperg2]

make sure they are tight and mark em. never had one let loose but, if they do just got to line the dots back up and lay them down
