Rugged sight

This is a great sight system that I've put on all my lever actions. It's very easy to install, adjust and use. I've also installed Xs sights on a couple of bolt action brush guns I've built, and been well pleased with the results. My rifles are hunting tools, and these sights have never failed to hold up to hard use...even having to dig bark out of a rear aperture didn't faze it.

Best of it's kind

Mounted on 1894 - 44mag. Used with .350 post, excellent sight picture for older eyes that can't see irons. Easy to adjust. Sits at good heigth for quick shots, which is what I wanted it for. Ordered another for 336 in 30-30.

Nice and functional but....

These need to be much more flush with the receiver on a 336C marlin lever. They sit so high...they tend to tear the gun case to shreds. Also...high means you need a higher front sight...so you cannot use the sight hood...and again tear up more gun cases...or worse...break front sight beads off. What would be so hard to do about making them fit to use the normal front sight bead, and existing scope mount holes...without being so unnecessarily high off the receiver top? common sense please!
