peep sight for t/c cherokee

[bubba15301]

where can i find a peep sight to fit a t/c cherokee? ?

Might be hard to find. Check the classifieds, you might get lucky.
Other option is to find a modern peeper and adapt to your rifle. Will take a little gunsmithing but can be done.

Cheaper Than Dirt has T/C peeps. Less than $60, just put one on a Renegade. You need to drill and tap one hole.

One just went yesterday on Ebay for $78, original for the Seneca/Cherokee. The ones at CTD are for the Hawken/Renegade, which may work with modification, I suppose. :hmm:

i have a lyman for a renegade. it is too big for a cherokee

 

[Idaho Ron]

Since I am not familiar with the cherokee why is the Lyman 57 SML too big? DO you have a picture? Ron

 

[Rat Trapper]

The TC Seneca and TC Cherokee take a rare and hard to find TC peep that is much smaller than the larger more common TC peep that fits the Hawken & etc. I have one that cost me $150 for one new in wrapper. Have not seen another one since.

 

[BrianL]

The one that went yesterday was new in wrapper as well so I guess that the $78 was a good deal

Why can't a guy just make a adapter for it? Or is this a cosmetic thing? Ron

the cherokee is smaller than the hawkens and renegade . the barrel is smaller in diameter.

If you don't require a fancy one like has been talked about already, and just need something to help you aim better, you might try muzzleloader builders supply. They have just a plain old fashioned peep sight like might have been used years ago. Part numbers are 21110 Johnson peep sight, 21200 and 21210 for the different size aperatures. Will fit a cherokee.

where does it mount on the gun?

 

[tmg]

Need to drill or have drilled for you the mounting screw holes. As far as exact placement, you would need to play around, see what works for your eyes. Probably as far back as possible. Can tape it to the barrel, move it around, once you find what works, mark your holes.

 

[bubba15301]

i would prefer not to drill extra holes in it

 

[BrianL]

You may be able to mount a base to your existing sight holes with holes to match the sight. This will limit the placement options somewhat.

 

[Rat Trapper]

It mounts on the tang using the rear tang screw and if the tang does not already have the second hold need to have a gunsmith drill and tap it. Once the rear sight is removed a plug screw can be used. TC rifles used to come with the hole already drilled and tapped and a plug screw in it right from the factory.

what sight are you talking about?

 

[BrianL]

The Johnson peep sight mentioned is barrel mounted and should be adaptable to the Cherokee. You may need to slot one of the holes :idunno:

The TC peep!

the t/c sight for the cherokee is impossible to find and way out of my budget. i am looking for something else that will work.
