Combination scope base / aperture sight???s

[jascoesens]

Hey guys,

Check this out. http://www.eabco.com/Muzzleloader03.htm This seems like the perfect scope base, especially if you use QD Scope rings.
Unfortunately AE Brown Co. only has these peep/ribs for T/Cs Omega & Encore or CVA's Optima & Kodiak rifles.
Here's my question. What is the diameter of these barrels at the scope base mounting area. My KRB has a 1.090" diameter. If either of the T/C barrels or CVA barrels are the same Diameter, I might consider having a smithy drill & tap my barrel.
So,--- Would owners of these model rifles please measure your barrel diameter

OR-- do you have any suggestions to accomplish the same thing? Thanks!

Looks interesting and simple. I will try to measure my son's Optima tonight if I remember, I've been busy getting ready to go out of town on a job so I won't promise anything.

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to check it last night but I will try again tonight.

I really like that idea. They should market that for the CF crowd as well.

Got a chance to measure the Optima, at the back of the rear scope mount it is 1.005".

Boy that sure is a sweet looking set-up.
