Muzzleoader sight options

[jfujan]

I bought a Knight Ultra light 50 cal muzzleloader for Colorado elk this fall. I was hoping to get a williams western precision fiber optic sight to help extend my shooting range, but unfortunately they are out of stock everywhere. Called Williams and they told me it'll be atleast 90 days before the fiber optic or the original version are available.

Is there anything similiar to this sight on the market? Any other replacement options that help with longer shots?

There is apparently a huge last minute rush to buy iron sights - I’m guessing this is partly due to the fact that NM changed their regs this year. Ut may follow next year. Lots of guys scrambling.

What am I missing? Williams has the Western Precision for your Knight in-stock at the moment. This is with the non-fiber optic front but they have the green available separately. The reticles are interchangeable.

Must be a website issue. Williams had confirmed they are both out of stock.

Well then if it were me, I’d grab a front globe (before they sell out) and find another rear peep that would fit your rifle. Nothing special about the Western Precision rear peep. It’s possible that you’d have to shim a different rear peep to get it to work with the front globe.

Cfnparts has the front globes now.

@sabotloader posted that he mounted an NECG peep on a weaver base on his ULite. That may work for you.

Thanks for the help didn't realize I could get the fiber optic globe by itself. Think I'm going to go with a williams fp for the rear peep and modify the the stock to fit. Also from sabotloader
