Works for me!
I mounted the short bulls eye sight on my Marlin 60 [the long sight *will* also work for the 60] because my eyes don't work so great anymore with the typical factory open sights. I had also replaced the front sight with a fiber optic sight. I found that I can shoot slightly tighter groups with the factory blade sight, but I come on target much faster with this sight (I had to really work for the tighter groups with the factory open sight). I will probably keep this sight on my rifle. Installation was easy: the sight only needed a few passes with a triangle file to fit in the 3/8" dovetail slot. It seems rugged and well made with a nice blued finish. My sight had some ripples on the rings, like something dragged across the metal before the sight was finished, but I don't notice the ripples in use. I stands pretty tall from the barrel (about 3/4" above the barrel on the lowest setting), so this *might* be an issue to look at if you scope your rifle. While not the most precise sighting system for alignment, it gives a fast sight picture and is suprisingly usable even in low light. I'm satisfied with what it does, I'm happy with its construction, I'm *very* happy with the price, and I'll be buying another one (the fixed one) for my Ruger 10/22.
