I did have to change my front sight on my Knight.
Snake eyes what did you put on your bighorn for a front sight.

One word of caution. If you go with the smaller peeps you won't be able to see well in low light. I have found that in low light I can take the peep out and shoot without it and as the sun comes up in the morning I screw the peep back in.
I like the low light peeps they sell for them with the little shiny ring around them.
On my 45-70 I shoot the BIG peep with the little tiny hole. Not sure if I like it yet. It's more for long range shooting and would not be good for hunting.
Midwayusa.com has a great sellection of these sites.

I have a Lyman peep sight on my Lyman Hawken and I find it to be a great sight, as well.

With a little more practice 200 yards is possible. Yesterday 4/5 shot at 200 yards were in an eight inch target.

Which sight were you looking for? Both?
I was looking for the peep because I didn't see the Bighorn listed on that link.
So you need to change the front sight also?

I did need a taller front sight for my Bighorn. I just looked for a part number but could not find one. It is slightly taller than the stock sight. My front sight came from Knight.

Just curious, did you need to get a new front sight with that one?
Have not shot mine yet, but a friend bought a Bighorn and the same sight.....he just removed the rear stock sight on the Bighorn and left the front on. Said he seemed to be able to see the front sight (fiber optic) just fine with the peep.

I just ordered the WGRS-legend for my bighorn. It is listed for "modern Muzzleloading" legend and wolverinre. Modern ML is (was) knight, and the wolverine is the same receiver as the bighorn (so I was told)
The Bighorn and Wolverine are essentially the same gun, just different models (different barrel lengths, camo etc.). Bighorn comes with all the ignition systems....Wolverine does not...just comes with one...either .209 or percussion/musket cap. Everything interchanges between the two. That's the reply I got from Knight when I asked about switching out the .209 plug in the Wolverine and replacing it with the #900023 breech plug, which accepts caps, and comes with the Bighorn.

Just got the sight. On the back it says the WGRS legend fits Legend, Wolverine, Bighorn and American. Fits factory drill and tap.
It screwed right on, looks slightly higher than my OE sight, but I think OK due to factory being low at 100 yds. I like the compact size.
