RE: Black Mountain Magnum and conicals
Yes, the Black Mountain Magnum is a traditional style rifle with musket cap ignition. They also have a strange breech because these rifles are able to shoot 150 grains of pellets or loose powder.
I was having trouble with the fiber optic sights. For some reason they were glowing.. I don't know how to explain it. When I would sight over them they were almost like they were out of focus unless I opened both eyes. Then they would clear right up. So once they were clear and I could see the top V of the black X I let fly. It seemed to work real good, but actually with the way the sights looked, I was surprised the hits were as good as they did.
I have been having a terrible time with fiber optic sights as of late. Perhaps it is time to visit the eye doctor again.
