CVA accura sight recommendations

[Alabama]

I drew a muzzleloader elk tag in New Mexico so I'm looking for open sight recommendations. I'm currently shooting a CVA Accura LR with a scope, so I have no experience with open/peep sights, besides shooting a .22lr.

From reaching out to muzzleloaders.com and online research, I've narrowed it down to the following:

Williams western precision sight for simplicity. Elevation adjustment but no windage. I'm not sure how easy it is to adjust the elevation.

or

CVA micro-adjust long range peep sight (also made by williams) This has windage and elevation adjustments and looks very easy to use. It has the same 6 reticles to choose from for the front globe.

or

Something I'm missing entirely? maybe a front globe with a fiber optic insert. I'm just worried an insert will cover too much of the target.

Ether set of Williams is what id recommend. I currently run your first option and like it .

Does your LR have the collapsible ram rod? Do you like that?

I was shopping around the other day for a site for a Optima and almost pulled the trigger on the CVA one.

I've got the Williams set on my Remington 700 Ultimate and like it quite a bit, but the crosshair insert is a little too fine for my eyes. I'd be upgrading to the fiber optic post insert if I wasn't selling the rifle off. Williams' .019 reticle seems like it would be about right out to 200-ish. You aren't going to be taking a 400 yard poke with an iron-sighted muzzleloader.

I have the MR, same collapsible ram rod. It's not bad, but I'm glad to have a dedicated range rod.

I imagine I could get by with just the collapsible one by pulling the breech plug and say pushing a charge/bullet all the way through rather than needing to pull, same with cleaning.

As slow as field reloads are with a muzzleloaders, add another little bit of time to get the rod together.

You’re on the right track. Globe front sight is great, essentially making it a non-magnified 1x “scoped” weapon from a sight picture standpoint. Non-field adjustable rear peep sight for 0-150 yards. If you want to shoot over 150 then get the adjustable rear sight.
