What are tang sights?

What are tang sights?

Really old tech, they mount on the rifle tang and flip up, putting a peep sight right at your eye. Improves focus on the front sight dramatically and give you a ring to center it with.

The bottom rifle has a large disc version, it's about 100 years old. All three of these rifles are chambered in 32 Winchester Special.

Your rifle will do the job. View attachment 176303

Good looking buck!

Marbles makes some of the best.

I have Skinners on a Marlin 1894.
They are excellent!

This right here ^^^^^^^^^^^^ might be the ticket for me. Especially since for my AE, it won`t require any drilling

It may require changing or filing the front sight....neither of which is a big deal.

The peeps also allow for changing the aperture. I usually sight with a small one for more accuracy, but often change to a larger one for low light and relatively short distances typical of Indiana deer hunting.

Leadeye has all the cool stuff!

I just wish I could find a decent priced 30-30!

I bought dies, brass, and bullets already lol. Just no gun...

My grandpa has an old Winchester 30-30 with a walnut stock that I want but he says no lol. So I've gotta find one that doesn't cost as much as a decent bolt gun!

FYI: Skinner has a "Guide Gun" set with taller front post included. Every time I've ordered from them (a front sight), they send a small bottle of cold blue for them after you file to needed height.

I had a tube type on a Marlin 44 magnum before. It was fast and accurate in good light, however the lenses in those don’t transmit light well and I went back to open sights after not being able to see deer through the red dot during the first and last hour of daylight.

did you have to remove the original rear sight?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

did you have to remove the original rear sight?

Usually one doesn't. I do, and replace with a dovetail blank just for ***** and giggles. A peep sits higher above the OEM sight line, hence the (typical) need for a taller post in front.

 

[BigRed]

did you have to remove the original rear sight?

Not necessary.

I did, however, to replace it with a blank...More cosmetic than anything else.

No on Winchesters with tang Marbles.

On a Marlin, with the Skinners, I had to file down the original.

No problem.

The peeps are nice sights.
