Im thinking about putting a peep sight on my 50cal. hawken and I need some advise on what ones are the most used and best place to purchase one. I have never used one before so any advice on this would be of help, and yes I wear glasses if that makes any difference in size of aperature, or where to mount it on the gun.

I really like Williams peep sights too. For huning I find it best just to unscrew the aperture and hunt with the remaining large hole.

I would consider a tang mounted flip up peep sight. I once lost a very nice buck because I could not see thru the peep sight. The buck was only 40 yards away. Marbles sight are always a good tang sight but check out these long range sights............. www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/2,217.html Smokepole50 |

I have Lyman peep sights on 2 of my smokey guns, 50 and 58 cals. They are nice. You can change the aperture or use none. They are easily ajustable for windage and elevation. They mount on the tang but do not fold down. They are not traditional but are good! Just visit the Lyman website to see what they look like. Got mine from Brownells. 10 ga

Thompson Center does make a peep sight for their Hawken. It fastens to the tang. I have one on mine and works quite well. Any peep sight you choose will be and improvement over open sights.

Big advantage for the Lyman is the precision adjustments. I have both a TC and a Lyman. TC used to make a tang mounted aperture sight with front globe. The front globe had several different inserts.

Here is a TC vernier rear on a Renegade.  Provides good accuracy and elevation adjustments but once windage is set (aperture slides in dovetail and locks versus click adjustment of a Seoule sight) you have to hold for wind. This picture is rotates 90 degrees because I had to turn phone sideways to get all of target in frame.  These sights are no longer in production. I found this one on Ebay. |

7mm, the butplate on that Renegade looks hard to this old guy! Not speaking for 7mm only for myself. They are a bit hard but on a ML styled like that it would be sacrilegious to put a recoil pad on there  |

It is pretty hard, 10GA. With a bullet of 460*488gr and a charge of 75gr or more the recoil becomes uncomfortable. It will be getting a red Pachmayr or Galazan soon.
