Rear sight for Hawken?

sjhgraysage · Jan 4, 2007

I have two TC muzzleloaders, a TC Bl Diamond .50, and a TC Hawken .54.
The BL Diamond now has a Williams peep for a rear sight which I really like.
The .54 Hawken I got used and the original rear sight is rather loose and wiggles from side to side maybe as much as 1/16?. I have considered having a williams peep put on it.
But was also wondering if there are more ?traditional? rear muzzleloader sights available for replacing the original factory TC Hawken rear sight. Any ideas out there?

Get the TC peep sight that mounts on the tang. You need to drill and tap the tang but it well worth it. Keep the rear sight on the barrel to sight in the peep, then remove the rear sight.

Contender,
Have you tried this? I have so far not been terribly impressed with the sight systems put out by TC. I have not had opportunity to use or handle the TC peep at this point. Thanks for the reply.

I have the TC peeps on both 50 and 58 caliber muzzleloaders. They are well worth the money and are very easy to use. I went to these because I can't focus and use the regular sights well.
