It should likely be a standard dovetail front sight and not rifle specific. Just measure the height and find a generic replacement with the correct dovetail in a lower height. Look at Midway or Brownell’s for a good selection.Thanks for the reply. The stock sight isn’t a dovetail, so I assume I’d have to find a dovetail mount too? I’m guessing that is a standard size probably? Thanks for the help!

I have an ace in the hole peep and am at the front end of the ramp and shooting low at 100. I cannot find a shorter front sight for the life me. Any advice? Shooting a CVA Optima v2. Thanks in advance. The title says Taller, I meant Shorter.
The real issue is that the rear sight is too far forward, it should be right near the back of the barrel right near the breech plug. It is built this way so you can put a rail on the gun for a scope and not have the stock rear sight interfere. The solution to your problem is to get an Eabco peeprib. Once your rear sight is further back then the stock front sight will work just fine. Plus, if you ever want to throw a scope on then you can (hunt in a firearms restricted area or in a state that allow scopes on a muzzy).

On mine I removed the sight that came with the peeprib and put a Williams ghost ring on it.

Thanks for the reply. I have my ace in the hole rail mounted all the way back and my peep is right in front of the plug and I’m still at the end of the ramp.

Same problem with my same gun. I've bought two sights and both are almost off the rail, my front site (or what ever is closest to end of barrel), is too tall. sabatloader sent me a fix but I still need to buy it and see. there is a topic on here with all the info you should need, I just hope it all works out before muzzy season. It's been a very frustrating time finding both sites that work together.Thanks for the reply.

I'm hoping this works. https://www.muzzle-loaders.com/optics/sights/williams-western-precision-muzzleloading-sight-set-cva-traditions-t-c.html My only concern is will the site at the end of the barrel still be too tall.Yeah I’ve looked at the globe, but I’m afraid in lowlight situations having the fiber will probably be better.

I replaced the factory front sight with a Williams .405 fiberoptic front sight. Its a standard round cut .8 something to fit my barrel.Might have to go with something like this one. I assume similar to the Williams one that you switched to.

I see that you're in Bothell. We could meetup at Kenmore rifle range once it's open again and you can try out my rifle.

I just went through the same thing with the same gun. I have the Eabco rear peep and used the Marble Uni-ramp #72408 with .875 barrel diameter and .405 sight height. A super easy and cheap fix. The rifle shoots spot on with plenty of elevation adjustment up and down.Well I just ordered the marble uni-ramp, I sure hope this site is tall enough, getting tired of buying sites.

Not necessarily. I have a CVA optima v2 with a EABCO peep rib and the factory front site is too tall. I have yet to be able to find a shorter front sight. The best I can do is dead on at 50 and no more room for adjustment without a shorter front sight or shimming up the peeprib.I have an ace in the hole peep and am at the front end of the ramp and shooting low at 100.
