Title: Knight Bighorn Sights
Post by: elksnout on June 28, 2017, 12:14:05 PM: I'm sure it's on here somewhere. I wish to put on a peep site of my Bighorn. Can someone direct me to where I can purchase one and maybe advise on how to install?

Thanks, elksnout

Midway had the cheapest price for the peep that I found (about $60)

Were you wanting the front ramp sight and hood also?

I think I have the part # list somewhere.

I have 2 front fiber optics coming tomorrow (one for mine, and one for buddies)

We are trying to get the front fiber centered inside the hood

Midway:

Williams FP-Legend Peep sight (williams # 54250) Midway # 128818 this is the black one

That Williams sight from Midway is improved from my older model. It has white lettering for "UP" and "RT"

FYI, the .312 high front bead is very close to centered inside the hood.

We also remove the red fiber optic, and replace with green. Much easier to see in the twilight.

The stock size is a little small for me in low light situations....and totally removing is too large for me.

Post by: jdb on August 27, 2017, 03:10:23 PM: So I did this with the wgrs sight and I'm shooting way high. Any suggestions?
Title: Re: Knight Bighorn Sights
Post by: usmc74 on August 27, 2017, 03:18:36 PM: Taller front sight. Did you put on the Williams front?

Post by: usmc74 on August 27, 2017, 07:36:25 PM: Which Williams # did you use for the front sight and ramp? There are different heights avail for each.
Title: Re: Knight Bighorn Sights
Post by: jdb on August 27, 2017, 07:50:25 PM: Well I started with the .312 now I have the .343. I just order the .375

There is only one streamlined ramp that will fit a Knight correctly. Because of the 1.625" hole spacing, only the 3/16" ramp will fit that hole spacing. Williams #1690

UNLESS you choose to use a 'sweat on' ramp

Thanks for that info, Mike.

I took the WGRS sight off one of my bighorns, because I had to run it so low, it was almost off the elevation slide

I have never tried a WGRS with the front sight combination I suggest... I use the FP peep sight which has more travel. I am guessing with the WGRS you would need a ramp and a .375N front sight - No Hood.
