Title: Peep sight placement, and proper sight picture
Post by: GrampasGuns on June 18, 2024, 04:45:43 PM
Hello

I have recently bought a Williams Western Precision muzzle loader peep kit and this is my first experience using a peep sight.

My rifle is a knight ultralite 50cal

I am curious on a few things, what is best practice for placement of the rear peep? I can mount it in front of OR behind the breach opening and depending on where i place it the sight picture changes dramatically.

If i place it rear of the breech, I can see the entire front globe sight and it fits just inside the visible limits of the peep.

If I place it forward of the breech, i no longer can see the outer ring of the globe sight, and the peep and globe sight line up perfectly and all i see visually is the crosshairs/fiber optic centered in the sight picture.

Which is the correct sight picture?

Thanks for any info here

I mounted mine on the last 2 screw holes behind the breech for my Knight.

I also removed the inner ring on the peep to give me a full clear view of my globe.

I also made a vinyl ring around my globe, and is exceptional for me. I'd recommend it to try out to get some contrast between the 2 black circles.

I'd say whatever you like best and are most comfortable with and you can repeat your alignment exactly everytime is best.
