Default Peep Sight For Sidelocks

Saw this link posted on The Muzzleloading Forum. Looks like a pretty nice sight.

Well Semi that is interesting. I may as well say it before someone else does. When you get it, please tell us how your "Johnson" works....

Williams has been the last word in peep sights for years but it's your money.

Williams is not the last word if you don't want to ruin the look of a traditional gun.

I will have to keep that in mind whenever I am able to purchase one of those sidelocks.
Two inserts, and I bet hunting without the insert peeps would work as well.

I hate to be the stick in the mud about peeps, but I have tried them. On a range in bright sunlight... awesome sight system. At 4:30 pm when the shadows have almost closed in back in the cedar grove... not such a good sight system. I sold my one peep. I still have a Williams Peep on a rifle that was given to me and I just never seem to shoot. Good accurate rifle in the range. But I never seem to shoot it anymore.

David, David, David. I'm disappointed in you. When the light begins to fade, you simply unscrew the peep insert. Now you have a ghost ring. Still very effective out to 50 yds. At least it works for a tang peep. Now sure about one farther forward.
