Peep sights for traditions ultralight

FemoralArchery · Oct 15, 2016

Is there anyone on here who has put peep sights on this rifle?

I'm having a hard time finding anything that says it will fit any of the new traditions rifles. I would really like to find an adjustable turret peep like Idahoron uses but I haven't found anything that I can confirm or not if it will fit my rifle.

I'm currently shooting a traditions pursuit G4 ultralight. It's been fantastic so far, we'll see how she does in the cold and wet weather.

Thanks guys.

Is there anywhere that I can find this info that anyone knows of. Or is there another forum you guys know of that might be helpful with my question?

Thanks again.

I am not familiar with your rifle. Williams sights might have a FP sight for it. If they do your in. If they don't you might still make it work by taking a weaver scope base and grinding the top flat them mounting the FP sight to the weaver.
When I put the FP on my MK85 I put on a great front sight and when I did that I had to raise the back sight. I built a shim to do that.
You can use the same idea to mount an FP I bet.

Awesome. Thanks Ron. I will look in to that.

Every sight I look up doesn't specifically say that it will fit traditions so I haven't been sure enough to buy anything yet. I will keep looking though.

Is the top of your rifle flat or is it curved?

It's curved. It's drilled and tapped for scope mounts along with the standard rear fiber optic open sight. I'm sure there are some that will fit it, I just can't find any thing in writing to confirm or deny that.

I would measure the hole spacing and ask Williams if they have an FP with that spacing. Then I would grind down a weaver mount and put the FP on top once you have it flat.

What about looking into a Peeprib? Would that work for you? You might have to call them but I think that might be the ticket. I have one on my curved barrel traditions UL (Pursuit) with a highly modified fiber optic globe sight up front...

They come with an aperture with threads that will give you a number of options for rear sight picture. I don't use any aperture in them. I use the frame only as a ghost ring... but my rifles shoot well that way. My Renegade, Pursuit and my old Remington are all set up with similar rigs. Ghost rear, hooded front with fiber optic pins... and all shoot well out beyond reasonable yardages with that same setup.

I'm shooting properly sized Thors with Blackhorn in most cases....

Even if that doesn't fit - you could easily modify so it would work...
