    FOR SALE Folding Peep Sight

    I just got a Lyman GPR in 54 cal that I might have to put this latest sight on. A buddy of mine down in Texas had it, and was wanting a Kibler. So I gave him $600 + shipping for it.

    FOR SALE Folding Peep Sight

    I used the original rear sight to rough zero the peep and then I removed it. I zero my 36 cal at 25 meters (27yds) with a patched ball. Here in the Ozarks 30 yds is about as far as you’re going to get a shot at a squirrel. I have zeroed at 40 in the past but found that I miss a lot more of...

    FOR SALE Folding Peep Sight

    I recently bought one for my 36 cal Squirrel Rifle, and it made a world of difference. I missed a lot of shots simply because I couldn’t see the small notch in the rear sight. Not an issue now. I am back to stacking them up like I did 40 years ago.

    FOR SALE Folding Peep Sight

    I got mine, got it installed and zeroed, and love it. I spent the better part of my adult life looking down the peep sights of one M16 variant or another, and it brings back that familiarity. I went for a quick morning squirrel hunt yesterday even though I only saw two squirrels and ended up...

    Wheel weight lead question

    For my Muzzle loading rifles I always mix my alloy as 50/50 by weight pure and wheel weight. For my 50 and 54 cals it provides a bit deeper penetration because it doesn’t flatten out as much as the pure lead does, and for my 32 and 36 cal rifles I squirrel hunt with it doesn’t deform at all...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Thank you. I really love it. It shoots the TC Maxi very well also. Under 2 inches at 50 yds with 50 grs of Goex. I use that load in the winter to hunt Coyotes.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I’ve been shooting the Holy Black for over 40 years, basically since I was a kid and had to have help loading the firearm. Even though I grew up in an owned by my father and his friend that built custom rifles, both Muzzleloading and modern, neither of them were diehard muzzleloader shooters and...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I never pull the barrels on my rifles or smooth bore that are pinned. I plug the touchhole and swab with moose milk and dump until it comes out clean than I dry it and run a Ballistol patch down it. The Hawken type with a hooked breech I remove the barrel and basically use the same process...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Here in the Missouri Ozarks it is a combination of still hunting, spot and stalk, or sit and hunt for me. It all depends upon the time of the year. End of May through August it is usually sit and watch one of the corn feeders for the deer. August to early September when they start on the...

    FOR SALE Folding Peep Sight

    I am needing one badly. It’s getting next to impossible to hit squirrels in the head and harder to hit them period.
