Tang mounted peep for a Renegade?

[LHR]

Is there a good option for a tang mounted peep for a TC Renegade? I have been doing some searching online but I’m coming up empty . Something specific I should be looking for?

EBay best bet

Williams has a new peep for the Hawken which I plan to get. Not sure if it would work for the Renegade but I’d give them a call. They make an excellent peep.

Lee Shaver- He has a Rear Target Site “Economy” model for $260

What are you planning to use it for? Hunting 100 yards and in or longer distance.

Nice thing about the ladder sights, Fold down out the way for using the open sites- if you want to set it up that way

The Williams sight mentioned above is the same one I have. I am happy with it for hunting but the hole could be a bit smaller for targets. I think they should make the whole insert of the peep in several different sizes and make the whole insert bigger.

They do make different inserts. 4 hole sizes .05" to .150" (.093 is std i think) and i believe they have 3 OD sizes from 3/8" to 1". Also a twilight aperture that has a brass ring in it, supposed to help gather light.

Ive got the Hunter T/C peep I’ll put on my Flintlock or Big Bore…and then This Tc. This is nice- small and effective. Still can use the open sights on my .45 and then pop this up if need to reach out there.
I may up grade this .45 to the Lee Shaver.

On my target gun I'm using the Lee Shavers economy mid range soule sight with a Hadley eye cup and a Ferriss globe. So far I like it a lot.

I like the idea of having both the peep and irons. Use the peep for longer shots in good daylight and switch to irons for closer low light hunting.
I am putting in for a HAMS hunt for mule deer that I may be using my Renegade. So hunting and plinking use.

Wow Ron… looking good. Talked to Lee Today/ very helpful and nice guy on the phone.

Ya I’m not shooting super far- yet open sites to 100 yards and then flip up peep for a bit further. Edge of field huntin

I have a Williams on 54 Renegade and it works out great for me and my application is similar to yours. I just don’t hunt with mine as much as I should.

I plan to get a Williams fool proof, i believe they have the same thread pitch as Lyman for the apertures.

I have a couple Lyman and one Williams. Williams is the better sight. If you raises the Lyman up above halfway they get loose,had to knurle mine.

That's well over 300 yards on my guns. I have 4 Lyman 57sml peep sights. And 2 of the Williams. Both are good in my opinion. But the Lyman is better for hunting do to the quick setting of yardage with the button. The looseness of the sight really has never held me back at hunting distances.

How does one know which size aperture is needed?

They're inexpensive so you could buy a few and try them out. Generally a larger hole and smaller o.d. is better for hunting while smaller hole and bigger o.d. is better for targets. But each person sees differently so some trials may be necessary.

I have seen threads about making your own tang peep for muzzleloaders. I plan to try and make my own.
I absolutely love hacks! Makes me feel good to make something and have it work.
