Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?

[Redthies]

The only skinner sights I have are on the SGC Henrys I have in 22 and 22 Mag. I like them so far but I think Im going to experiment with the 2 larger size apertures to see f I can pick up on the front sight a little better. For me that gold bead on the front sight leaves a little to be desired using the skinner sights.

I agree 100%. The brass bead on the factory sight is really hard to see through the peep. My .357 has one of Andy’s Patridge front sights on it, and I’m considering getting the smaller version of his Patridge to replace the front on my SGC.

Another thought I had was to get a marbles front sight that was fiber optic.

I received a couple of bigger apertures today from skinner. Next size up from the one they send you on SGC seems to give me a little clearer picture of the front sight. Checked it out tonight after installing it. I havent shot it yet but when I do I will report back

Will be interested in your report Al. Been thinking of doing the same on my SGC.

GFK, I hope you like your RPP sight and look forward to your thoughts on it after you get it mounted up and hopefully some range time soon!

Well, I get the sight in and mounted. I am not aligning the front sight as I thought I might without the optics. So, I have requested an exchanged. But, I still may attempt to make it to the range and see how it works.

My first impression, I thought the finish would be more polished. I found myself trying to buff out some dull spots. At $110, I was not expecting that. Also, I removed the ramp for the rear sight. The semi-buckhorn was blocking the front sight. Elevation was at zero though. I left the rear sight on, in case I want to use it again. I did not want to attempt to re-zero it. It may not be an issue once sighted in.

Good to know on the finish. I dont blame you for being disappointed. Maybe you need to contact them about it. Also Im not sure I follow you on the first part of the post about aligning with the front sight. Maybe a picture would help.

Update: Well, I received an e-mail that a cloverleaf with green fiber optics would be sent out Monday. As far as the finish, a silicone rug seems to be polishing it up. But, it is taking time. Since the rear sight is a cloverleaf, I expected to be able to use the side points to align the front post horizontally. I have not used ghost rings. But, the sight seems like it would work as one. I suspect the optics will allow for a better horizontal reference point, which should allow for a more accurate shot. However, I plan to find out.

I’m not sure what you mean by the first part I quoted? What is “not aligned”? I mounted mine on my Marlin 1895 GS, so I’m not sure if the mounting procedure is different for a Henry?

What color sight did you order? I don’t think any of the colors are supposed to be shiny/polished?

[BigAl52]

I think i get it now. I think he ordered a sight W/O the fiber optics. The finish hes is mentioning is the actual base itself. Its shinny in some parts but not in others. He is thinking that the fiber optics will help with picking up the points of the cloverleaf for side to side alignment of the front sight. Is this right GFK

[GFK]

Bingo! You got BigAl. Sorry if I was not clearer with my explanation. The base has some dull spots. Seem like a film of some type of residue. Yes, the choice to order a cloverleaf without optics seems not to be the better choice. But, I still my try it. It is cloudy here today. So, it will be under less than ideal conditions. Yet, any time to shoot is a good time.

Another thought that I have, the set screw for elevation pushes against the top of the receiver. I wondering if it will damage the bluing if I adjust it. The spring of the cloverleaf is not that strong. So, it may not take much effort to adjust it.
