[QUOTE="Rookhawk, post: 1754220, member: 111931"] Friends, I've read this thread at least 20 times over the past 6 months as I plotted and planned exactly what I was going to do with my Remington Ultimate Muzzleloader. This was an excellent thread to warn others of consequences, and also to propose viable solutions. I went a different path, but I thought I'd share it with you as a plan B. If you're obsessed about optics and mounts, arguably, some of the best rings and mounts you can purchase that do not require thousands of dollars for custom installations are the Talley Manufacturing quick-detach rings. The added benefit is they hold and return to zero when removed, and of course any global hunter knows to NEVER EVER EVER transport your firearm via plane, train, or automobile with the scope attached for if you do, you'll have a mangled, messed up scenario to deal with at hunting camp. I purchased the Rem 700 Ultimate with the laminate stock and the front/rear iron sights for a couple of reasons. 1.) I needed the front ramp base. 2.) The stock has a low comb to make iron sights and LOW scope mounts a workable solution. Using the Talley quick detach rings described above, I have a quick detach scope arrangement. When the rings are removed, Talley makes a $70 quick detach rear peep sight that will affix to the rear scope mount when you need iron sights. They machine the rear mount to accommodate this (free of charge...you just have to ask when you order). Total rear peep height to the aperture is about .575" for reference. Now you have two good choices for the front sight while using the factory-installed, impossible to buy ramp this thread discusses at length. You can either drift in any partridge sight you want if the factory one doesn't regulate with your loads. OR you can use a Williams/Lyman globe sight with inserts. The latter option can give you precision accuracy out to farther than most of us care to hunt. The Talley quick detach rings and mounts, along with the quick detach rear peep sight costs around $250. The front globe sight costs under $40 with inserts whereas any of the hundreds of partridge blade sights run $12-$15. I believe the setup described provides the very best combination of both Iron Sights and Optical Sights on demand. [/QUOTE]
