I’ve used ‘rare earth’ magnets to hold iron sights on a barrel while figuring things out with a gun before permanently mounting them, but would not rely on them for a hunting situation. Imagine your solution may be found in how you light up the target and sights. I believe @Okie Hog has posted how he hunts hogs at night. May want to look up his posts (if I am correct that it is Okie Hog).Anybody tried a magnetic mount red dot sight on a muzzleloading rifle? I'd like to try some night hunting for coyotes but certainly don't want to mount anything permanently on one of my guns. I'm wondering if they stick well enough to stay sighted in for follow-up shots? I hate to use such modern technology on my old guns but don't know what else to do.
