about peep sites SOOOOOOO I put a williams sight on and then bought some barnes bullets then had shoulder surgery last yr which ended any chance of sighting in a new sight and load :( :( :( and crappy weather :( :( :bash: :bash: so I'm really looking forward to sighting it in with my peep sight and see what happens.
I was shooting a 3" group at a 100 with the sst's should do better with a peep sight( I hope ) cus its getting hard to see the sights( I'm old),you need to realise i was using a lead sled when i sighted my gun in before cus I'm def. not that good a shot off hand.

Wacenturian, Thanks, I probably should have followed your advice after looking more closely. It seems that the sight that you linked was the williams fps series rather than the wgrs series. From the factory the fps series was in the $80 range and the wgrs was in the $40 range which I purchased. The site you linked was an amazing $37. Now they are both made by williams but what is better about the fps? It looks like it is a little bulkier and has more adjustment thingys and it can come in stainless. Any performance differences? Maybe I can cancel my transaction from williams and go to that site. thanks for the help.
The FPS is click adjustable for elevation and windage. The WGRS series is adjusted by loosening a set screw and sliding the aperture. Settings on the FPS are easily repeatable, on the WGRS, not so much. Is it worth $40 for this feature? I think so, can't answer for you. Try Mid South Shooters supply Natchez Midway, heck almost all of the on-line retailers beat manufactures list price. The Williams and Lyman apertures are interchangeable, I really like Lyman sights, I'm not sure what they have that will fit your application.

I am new to muzzy giving it a try after longtime archer. I ordered a new Buckhorn from factory and just wondering about good loads for deer/elk.....also wondering about good peep setups? Thanks for advice.
I use the Williams FP peep sight on my MK85 and the Big Horn...

The FP is a very good peep site and has 1/4" clicks for both windage and elevation.
The front sight is a Williams fiber optic bead and not shown in the picture I have added hood that is open at the top to light up the front bead.

I will try to get a picture posted with the hood...

Forgot to mention loads...
This target might give you thought...

I believe the Lehigh bullet is one the bullets bullets on the market. Of course I think they are a step above Nosler Partition and the Barnes offering.
If you do not want to pay for the premium bullet and in this day and age, i would suggest you look at the Speer .452/300 gr. Deep Curl/Gold Dot. Bonded bullet with controlled Expansion... BC .233

I use 100grs of T7 FFG and a CCI #11 mag primer. I put a Williams Ghost Ring Aperture on my rear sight and love it for hunting.
This was 3 shots at 100 yds shooting off my Stoney Point Rapid Pivot bipod. I pulled a bit on the 3rd shot but the TMZ is very accurate.

Here are some I dug out of the bank behind my target. This was hard packed dirt too.

Hey Sabotloader,

Just second let me call Williams and see if I can come up with those numbers.... Just tried to get ahold of Steve at Williams - could not get through but left a mesaage and he should return the call.
When I get the information I will post it here...

I bought the WGRS legend first, and did not like the slide type adjustment. Bought the FP legend, and it works great.
(anyone need a WRGS legend)

I like the hooded front. protects the fiber optic.
That is exactly why i got the hood but even better when you look down through the front sight it offers a 'Globe Sight' look the makes it very easy for the eye to center on the target.... almost looks like a scope view.

I really dis-like the slide-glide and guess type rear sights. The FP offers 1/4 minute clicks and is much easier to dail in.

OK Steve just returned my call....
You need a 3/16" Streamlinded ramp... #1690 Williams Streamlined ramp (it comes hoodless) then you need a #56436 .375 Narrow Rifle Bead and to finish a #70031 Fire Sight Hood for Williams Streamlied Ramp.
Also should tell you that you can get the FP sight from Numrich a lot cheaper than anywhere else... they are trying to move old stock

Any questions you can also call Williams (1 800 530-9028) then extension #228 and talk or order from Steve the parts you need. You normally can find the parts cheaper at an online retail outfit but by the time you pay their shipping it is less expensive to get directly from Williams.

I don't know if a front sight is avail in stainless
Post by: Sabotloader on April 14, 2011, 08:52:43 PM
Would you go silver on the peep? I just bought a bighorn (still waiting on it) and I can't think of any reason not to match the stainless barrel.
The only thing.... is that the shades of stainless may and probably will not match, that is why I go the opposite and contrast... And on the other hand they could be really close....

So i'm really thinking about buying that same front sight setup...but before i do i figure I better ask if that required any drilling. that back screw seems awefully far back to be pre-drilled. Sabotloader...if you could get back to me I'd appreciate it. Thanks
No drilling or tapping necessary... the ramp is set for 1 5/8" hole pattern...
