Title: Truglo muzzleloader ghost ring
Post by: MarkyMark on May 16, 2014, 04:34:10 PM: 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.

Post by: Mfowl on May 16, 2014, 04:55:57 PM: 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.

It will not cover up as much of your target at longer ranges. I really am not a fan of the globe up front. :twocents:

Here's the front sight:

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

Post by: Mfowl on May 16, 2014, 07:38:54 PM: 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.

Post by: MarkyMark on May 24, 2014, 12:11:05 AM: 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.

Post by: MarkyMark on July 12, 2014, 01:08:34 PM: 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.
