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.

Hi Adam
I agree with you on the rear sights. I too enjoy shooting both ball and conicals with my muzzleloaders. My renegade shoots conicals as accurate as rb's,So I decided to keep the rear adjustable sight for it. I also am going to get ted cash front blade sights for her. I am using the Hawken strictly for patched ball.
