Looks like the red is 647510 the green is 630158. I noticed last night that cfnparts.com appears to have them as well for $11.25.
I ordered 2 from them. It only cost a couple $ more than buying 1 from the other places.Looks like the red is 647510 the green is 630158. I noticed last night that cfnparts.com appears to have them as well for $11.25.
That group is from a 50cal muzzleloader?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:

Not only that but open sight!!!That group is from a 50cal muzzleloader?
Green is the first to appear in the morning and the last to fade away at dusk.Some people must like red but I just can’t see it as well in low light as green
I’ll let you know in about half an hour.What do you think about the low light visibility? Is it pretty bright?
I like it. For me, it’s usable till about 20 minutes after sunset. Not super bright but way better than a non-fiber optic. That’s with a small (.050) aperture. If my eyes would allow me to use a larger aperture, I think I’d be good a little longer.What do you think about the low light visibility? Is it pretty bright?
It is shockingly bulky but the fine dot is really nice.Now just my opinion, but with the new design of the hood area and the fiber optic I really do not think low light is going to be a problem.
The only thing that I really do not like is the bulkiness of the front sight. At this point I will stay with the Williams Streamlined ramp, fiber optic sight and the Fire sight hood.

Thats sweet.Just received a front. Looks like the center of the front bead sits right at .453 above the barrel. The body is aluminum with an aluminum bezel. The post/bead measures .052.
Looks like it will work well with any rear peep that can be raised to about .453.

I have found that with any open sight I have to quit about 20 min after sundown anyway. Need a scope to shoot later. AND don’t like to shoot that late anyway because I want to see how the animal reacts and where he goes. “Crack of dawn” morning visibility will be a bigger issue.I like it.
