Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Making custom rear sights.

I'm putting some more thoughts into the sights of my muzzleloader build, the 32 cal underhammer squirrel rifle.

I obtained the merit #4 hunting disc:



and was planning on making a simple lollipop type post to set it in at the top of the tang where it meets the breech.

I sketched up a bunch of designs for making the post have a front slot rather than hole so it can be adjusted for windage, but in the grand scheme, for a squirrel rifle, is it really necessary?

Theoretically, a driftable front dovetail should give me all the windage adjustment I need at the effective rifle range, correct?

With a 12-28 threaded post, a couple turns will give me more than enough vertical as well.

Thoughts?
