Williams new fiberoptic globe?

[edmehlig]

Can you order it with a Green fiber optic front pin?

The insert is plastic. That is my real concern but it looks well protected.

Mine came with the green fiber optic. I will try and get a picture to submit.

Like I said...big sight but I think it will be nice?

 

[ElDiablo]

How big is the fiber optic dot?

 

[Utah400elk]

I think .19. at least it looks like the size on my archery .19. It is much smaller than their Fire Sight

 

[ElDiablo]

Good! Was hoping it wasn’t huge. I just ordered one myself.

I have two of them. They are really big! the sights are very bright and the fiber optic insert is small. They should be good and I will report back after a range session today. I needed to order the complete set for my CVA. the rear ramp I had was much shorter than the new one. FWIW

Thanks for your summary review on them.

Back from the range with new sight…

I am setting up a CVA V2 for a Colorado elk hunt: 12 shots @100 yards. I use a 6 o’clock hold and had a decent open sight group. Just started playing with my new ladradar but had both 300 grn Thor and 285 Universal Fir Fury shooting the this group. The bullets group very similar…Fury was faster and held down range velocity much better…Higher BC but Thors were much easier to load. The sight gave a bright clear sight picture and green fiber optic did not cover target @100 yards.

110 grn BH209 by volume (ten load average = approx 86 grns by weight) with both bullets. Velocity was average about 2040 with the 300 grn Thor and 2080 with 285 grn Fury.

This is the group:

Nice group, thanks for your review and post. Very helpful.

If you’re shooting those with a LabRadar, have you come up with some BCs? Would be curious to hear.

 

[Utah400elk]

I messed up tonight but will have BCs within the week and will post.

When holding at 6 o’clock thats where I want my bullets to hit. In the Marines we called point of aim, point of impact.

 

[Utah400elk]

I need try and move my group about 2 inches left and 2 inches up. That would be ideal. The CVA shoots nice groups. The thumbhole stock bites my cheek a bit. I am getting a padded cheek pad for the stock. That is my only complaint about that rifle. It really shoots well. I got this to get friends into muzzleloading. The ambidextrous stock is a great concept but needs a few tweaks.

 

[txhunter58]

That’s an awesome group. Did you shoot those by volume or weighed charges.

 

[txhunter58]

Yes you can order the green fiber optic insert ($14) but they are out of stock.

 

[Utah400elk]

I measured out 10 loads BH209 at 110 by volume. I weighed those ten loads and they averaged 86 grn…85.9 actually. I then made my range loads based on the average weight.

 

[Utah400elk]

These are three Williams sights. Two fire sights and then the new globe insert…

Appears that Williamsgunsight.com does have the inserts in stock. Have to do a search under the item number
