Thank you everyone for your helpful posts. Here is what I purchased and some pictures of my setup.
Only issue I have is there isn't enough travel in my peep sight. I either need some taller bases or to lower my front site. Taller bases will be the easier solution.
Here is a costs breakdown and some pictures from my first outing. I was testing different bullets and working with the sight, so my grouping isn't indicative of what the gun can do.
Next time out I will work on accuracy and the volume of BH209. I went with 100 grains this time just to shoot the gun and get the sight close. Without a scope is it best to start close at say 50 yards and just do 2 shot groups to see which load works the best? @95, @100, @105?
**Update for those ordering look at midway usa and the Colorado version ($912-$935), it should have the front sight, holes drilled for mounting scope bases and it comes with the Red Plastic Jacket primer ignition system. Would have saved me order the RPJ conversion kit.
