best peep sight for a lever gun

Copper · 10-14-2004, 10:28 AM

Looking for a peep sight to put on a Winchester 94 Trails end. I was wondering how much increased accuracy you get as opposed to regular iron sights and which is the best one for ranges out to about 100 yards.

Thanks

I'm a 94 fan as well. I don't know an answer to your question as I have never had to shoot over 100 yards with it (South TX brush country here)...can't see over 100 yards. Maybe I can come up with some brand names for ya though and then you can check their websites. Let me get off duty and I'll check from the house tonight.

I tend to like the old fashioned styles on lever guns. My Marlin 39A is wearing a Marbles tang-mounted peep sight. It did require a taller front sight blade, and looks really good. It came with three sizes of apertures, for which type of shooting you want. Mine currently has the "medium" hole for general; purpose, and there are a smaller "target" peep and a larger "hunting" or "ghost-ring" peep.
This sight also required drilling and tapping a second hole in the tang.
Accuracy is improved, and it doesn't interfere with the handling or grip to a great degree. It's a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it.
For closer open-sight bunny-thumping, it folds down and I use the flip-up barrel mounted U-notch sight.

No problem - kind of a weird screen name anyway. For those wondering, it is the name of the small community were I grew-up in Mississippi. Howard is the real name.

Gald to here the website helped. Those sights are quality built with a very fast sight pic. They make some cool scope mounts as well.

Have fun!
