Turns out the guy is 53years old and cannot see his front sight on his Marlin .44 clearly anymore. I’m going to give it a try and see if I like it. 1/2 price over new was too good to turn down.    | ||

Oh man, that's classy looking! I hope it works for you, just because it looks so cool! But I'm still in the camp that if the red dot works the best, it's the right call, whether it's blasphemous or not  !----------------------------------------------------------- Any comments made by this poster are my own and do not reflect the views or opinions of my employer. | |||

I'm with 92fstech on this one. If it works for you, do it. I used to run a Garand with a scout scope. As for the Skinner sight. They are top notch! Enjoy. Rom 13:4 If you do evil, be afraid.

You may have to get a new front sight. I had one of those skinner sights on a marlin 30-03 I gave to my stepson…IIRC the company has a formula for figuring the new front sight height. “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “ in my opinion, anything that we can do to trigger a potential aneurysm in a leftist is a good thing and worth doing” nhtagmember 2025 | |||

All my lever guns, and a Ruger No.1 use the Skinner sights. Best non-optic option for me. Ignem Feram | |||

Should be on their website. If not just give them a call. Or, just buy an extra tall one and file it down to your needs. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States.

Wait, what? |
Good grab. That is a robust rear peep and the price is definitely right. I have a Ruger .44 carbine I wanted a rear peep for, but they've been out of production from Williams for some time and just too hard to come by. I dropped in a Skinner peep aperture as a stand alone. The threading matched the factory scope mount hole so it was easy to mount it directly sans base. I now have a very low profile, solid peep. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Now you’re talkin’! I have one on my Texan 35 REM. I paid wayyyyy more for mine. Congrats. You may have to change the front sight though. | |||

I say use whatever works best for you. Peep sight, red dot, or scope. I agree with rangemaster in that your current front sigth may or may not work with that sight though. | |||
