T/C hunting peep sight

[Tim Wilkinson]

Anyone use TC's hunting peep (tang style) sight?
I think my 45 cal Cherokee has this sight on it..
it was on it when I bought it and it looks similar
to the one in TC's catalog,,anyway I am thinking of using this sight on my 54 White Mt carbine and
my 58 Big Boar since I really like it on the Cherokee..just wondering if any one else is using this sight and their thoughts on this...

Yep: have one on my t/c flinter 50 cal. man a whole world of difference with tired old eyes ,that front fiber optic sight sticks out like a sore thumb.I would just open it a tad larger for hunting think I went a .090 hole on the rear peep.I tried the williams set-up that also bolts to the tang,for some strange reason I did not like the williams peep sight.
I can say they go for new $40.25 over at MIDSOUTH seem to be the cheapest price around :thumbsup:

Hello all....Just found out about this forum and just joined today! I have a T/C Renegade with a T/C roundball barrel (the 1 in 66" from Fox Ridge). I find that I am no longer able to use original open sights due to my aging eyesight. The T/C hunter peep allowed me to keep hunting with this rifle, and I have used it for a number of years now. Like lonewolf5347 I did drill out the aperture, but to the maximum possible. I took the largest drill bit that would fit inside the front of the sight (inside the part that screws in)to enlarged it. I paint the front bead with a small dab of flourescent orange paint, but am thinking about replacing it with a newfangled fiber-optic sight (bowing to the practical).

Timbo, the peeps work really well. They're a worthwhile addition. They don't seem to work as well in low light though, to my eyes anyway.

I've been trying to find one for my T/C Seneca for several months now. Did yours come with the gun, or did you add it on? If you added it, where did you find it?

The T/C Hunting style tang peep sight is available through Cabelas. It is listed in their shooting catalog as ZT-21-0162-194 for $49.99 plus shipping.

It doesn't fit the older guns like the Seneca or Cherokee though. That's the sight I'm trying to find. I keep hearing of them being out there, but so far I guess I keep missing them. Thanks though.

I wouldn't bother borin' out the aperature, just unscrew it and use the housin' as the hole to peep through. Anything under 1/8" don't allow much light except on bright days, and then not in the glomin'. :winking:

 

[Tim Wilkinson]

it came with the gun, not sure if it is a TC brand sight but it sure looks like one from the picture in TC catalog...I like it alot on the little Cherokee,,I also have a 32 cal barrel that came with it,,I have to adjust the peep when I change barrels but it works fine for both barrels

As noted above, just unscrew the aperture and use the hole it screws into as the rear aperture. Works like a charm. Then you can just screw it back in when you shoot targets, if you want to.

I have one on my New Englander and it makes a world of diference. I also have a second apature which is larger and rimmed with brass that really makes it easy to use in low light in combination with a white bead front site. Makes it a lot easier to see when in the woods or early and late in the day.
