The scope was removed from the extreme, and installed on the Mountaineer. This allowed for an installation of a Williams FP sight which was purchased last year, but not in time for muzzle loader season.
In order to allow this sight to work, required some material removal from the bottom of the sight, and from the bolt of the rifle.
The past three mornings have found me shooting 2 rifles. One of which was this extreme loaded with 300g Deep Curl, 110g BH, short black Harvester sabot, and W209 primer. The target was shot at 100 yard.
The long barrel combined with the bolt put the front sight further away from the eye than i am used to. This allows my tired old eye to nearly focus on that front sight. Shooting this rifle with iron sights is the funnest iron sight shooting i have experienced in years. This is due to a trigger being target quality, with zero creep, and a super light clean break. Also the front sight being so far away from my eye means i can almost 'see' it.
