Muzzie for the elk opinions

[Chukarhead]

I was a little skeptical of the thumbhole for hunting...until the end of my first day hunting with it.  I don't see myself going back, especially with the front-heavy Bighorn I hunt with.  Love it!

Sorry maybe my vocabulary was used incorrectly  but yes the main body of the bullet passed through and broke an offside rib. The petals did their job and shredded the Lungs and top of heart. Animal was dead before it hit the ground. Quick, humane and no tracking needed.  Thanks for the clarification pete.

My brother drew a muzzy quality deer & I drew a muzzy quality bull permit this year. He is just starting out in the world of muzzleloading so I think we will pick up a couple Knight Bighorns so we can work together to get them ready for our hunts. These are the ones I am going to get:

I'd like to set them up w/ a peep for the rear & hood over the ramp. Does anyone have the part numbers I need to order? Is the Williams Peep still the best sight to get or are there some better choices out there now?

If someone has the same rifle, can you tell me what bullet & powder charge works best for you? Thank You in advance.

Just got on the computer... we are on our way to Spokane - softball tourney, but when we get back this evening I will pass the information on.  I have most of it written down for part numbers and locations.  The Williams FP peep is till available and really is a good one. Numrich still has some silver/stainless ones for a great price they are out of the blued sights -

Also if you or brother are vets make sure to let Sportsmans know - you get a discount for being a vet.

later - actually probably Sunday Morning.

Thank You Sabotloader that is exactly how I want to set up my muzzy. Will I also need to get a new ramp? I remember reading about the Numrich but the blued Williams will work just fine. I prefer the blued sight.

Thanks for mentioning the vet discount. My brother & I are both vets. In fact, starting last year ID started to give a huge discount on nonresident licenses and tags to vets w/ at least 40% disability. What used to cost me about $770 for license, deer & elk tag now only cost $110-$120. (Thank you ID). Already been over doing a little spring bear this year & could send you some pics if interested. 

As always thanks for your help & good luck in the ID drawing which may be out as early as next Friday.
