Johnny Reb,
You are correct that fixed sights are the traditional sights for muzzleloaders. I have a dozen muzzloader Hawkens in both flint and caplock and a couple Renegades. I much prefer the factory rear sights from T/C because sight-in with ball or Maxis requires sight adjustments with a screwdriver on factory sights or a hammer and file on fixed sights.
I can see replacing the bead front sight with a medium wide blade sight, but the rear sight for me must be adjustable. If a rifle will be used exclusively for Ball or Maxis, then go for FIXED sights front and rear. Since I cast ball and maxis and shoot both from most of my rifles, I need the T/C factory adjustable rear sights.
