Open sights?

[SandyCreek]

I’ve been looking for some options for an adjustable open sights set up for my muzzleloader.. are there any good options besides the Revic?

I have Williams peep sight I am fond of.

The Revic is a joke for the price.

A good rear peep like a Williams and the Williams Western Precision front globe with a small .019” fiber optic insert is about as good as it gets.

Yeah no way I’m dropping that for a set of open sights just liked the idea of having an adjustable option without having to have holds

I have posted videos of me dusting clay pigeons at 300 with my hawken and knight which both wear williams target adjustable rear with a gehmann iris and lyman fronts.

That's a pretty damn good setup for the money.....and you can piece it together as you go.

Another plug for Williams. 200 yard very accurate shots with those are the norm .

There are two main types of rear iron sight: “open sights,” which use an unenclosed notch, and “aperture sights,” which use a circular hole.

If you’re upgrading sights on your muzzleloader, go aperture or go home. A Williams is the best option for money and performance, especially when paired with a good front sight. For being “primitive” aiming devices, aperture sights offer a shocking amount of precision.

Thanks guys. I’ll check a set out. Doesn’t seem to be too expensive either.

Ha. I have the same set up, but I doubt I could hit clay pigeons at 300 yards. I went to Williams peep sights on my Knight "right away" after buying it, circa 1985....

What did you go with for the gehmann front? Seems like a ton of options

I have a Layman 57 on one muzzleloader and I have Williams peeps on a couple of other rifles.

Get the Williams, hands down.
