Have any of you used this on a Hawken or Renegade? The reason I am leaning toward this sight is I am already using this style on the Omega's. At this point I would use it with the blade front sight with a bit of white paint on the blade for low light shooting. Your thoughts please. Thank you! Mark I use tang mounted peeps on several of my TC's - I believe that Lyman makes the better of the peeps that I have used.  Here are a couple of examples - and all of them the Lyman is the best.  Once you start using them it will be hard to go back to a regular rear site... |
I have a Williams tang mounted peep sight on a tc white mountain carbine. It is real nice I can use it a lot better then just plain opens sights. Also have them on some other muzzleloader and they have seem to work good.

I forgot to add the Lyman has a quick release button you just push and you can change elevation using the elevation scale in the side of the sight. No dialing necessary. Also there is a stop screw that you can reset to your given zero range each time or any time that you want. Plus the elevation scale can be adjusted to your desired ZERO

The T/C sights like MuleyHunter had and as I have on a few sidelocks are hard to come by these days. Then when you do find one they demand a premium price. Lyman makes a good solid peep. It is model 57. Optics Planet has them at a decent price. Just get the one for the Rene or Hawken. I have 2 of these sights and they are nice. You can get with or without the target screws.

I have and still do have peep sights on various rifles. I have a Williams Peep sight mounted by a gun smith forward of the tang slightly. It works perfect that way. While I like a peep on the target range, I don't like them hunting. I have my own reasons, while other do not agree with me. That's fine.
On a sunny day with a target in no shadows, its hard to beat a peep sight. A bright colored front sight is a great help. |
Thank you all for your responses, I'll keep you informed of my decision.
Cheers Mark |
I have that sight on an H&R 1871:
 The sight works very well on this rifle, but I also have a globe front sight with it. this is how this gun came from the factory. But like you said, notice how far back the sight is mounted. This is a .38-55 that I only shoot BP in it. It is a hoot to shoot and wanted to take it into the woods this past year for deer season. I forgot to through it into the SUV and thought about it when I was in the tree stand. I will take it next year. |
