RE: First time shooting a muzzle loader
Just so you are aware, if you do go with the Lyman 57 SME/SMET (target model) peep sight, and your rifle has a laminate stock. I was advised that sometimes some slight alterations to the stock are necessary to make the peep sight fit properly. Those with the B&C synthetic stocks claim that they did not have to alter the stock sightly...
The peep sight and a good conical load in a non scope state would be a fantastic shooting combination. I still might get the Lyman 57 SMET peep and have a gun smith install it since I do not like to mess with modifications of any kind to my rifles, but I want to see how well I can do with the fiber optic sights. So far the fiber optics have done real well.
