Thanks for the input RexM.
I can't use a scope on a muzzle-loader here, so cheek weld with a scope isn't an issue if it fits and shoulders well with irons.
For iron site use the long barrel on the Acura might be just the thing. I don't recall if the Optima barrel is the same length or not, but if it is it might be just right. The front site that came on ours is pretty good, as it is a good size and shows up well. But I think I would have to change the rear sight to some kind of peep sight, probably a Skinner or Lyman. We use the Lyman with an XS sight systems front sight on a 44 lever action for brush work and find it to be a good set up.
BTW: I forgot to add that our rifle has the Thumbhole stock. I would think the pistol grip stock would be better for iron sites but don't know for sure.
good luck to you,
Rex
