Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
There have been quite a few posts about Ranger Point's dovetail fillers, which look very nice, but a search here pulled up nothing about their CloverLeaf peep sight, so I'm just seeing if anyone has any experience with them?
In the attached link, there's a review from one of the blogs, where the writer tests one out with a Henry 45-70. No issues, apparently, with using the standard front bead sight, and he claims good results out to 300 yards (!), which I sort of take with a grain of salt, but...
Anyway, just checking: anybody ever bought/used one of these?

Re: Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
I REALLY like the looks of this one and may try one on my 1899 Winchester.

Yea, I know, kind of adding something sort of 'modern' on a classic but it's not like I am scoping or putting a red dot on it. My only options are a better buckhorn or a tang sight as it NOT D & T for a Williams receiver sight.

Re: Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
I like the looks of that one, too, but I'm after something that would be receiver-mounted, not out there on the dovetail where the buck-horn is. Will search more around the Ranger Point site and see what the options are. I just discovered, too, that the tang-mounted sights (Marbles, primarily) require drilling and tapping a second hole, which I'm not a fan of.Mistered wrote:I REALLY like the looks of this one and may try one on my 1899 Winchester.

Re: Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
FORTUNATELY my Winchester is the 'Klondike Sporting Rifle' which IS factory D & T with the forward hole for a tang sight.I just discovered, too, that the tang-mounted sights (Marbles, primarily) require drilling and tapping a second hole, which I'm not a fan of.

Doesn't look like there are many (if any) users here. Will continue to dig, but if anyone finds any intel, please pass it along. Thanks, all!

Well, I did it. I ordered the cloverleaf with green fibre optics, front .350 red fibre optic, and .900 stainless dovetail filler for my Marlin 1895GS. Kind of a big spend on a rifle I’m not 100% sure I’m keeping forever, but maybe between this purchase, and the 405 grain 1150 FPS Winchester cowboy loads I ordered, I’ll fall in love with this Marlin? It is the ideal bush gun for where I live, and will be great for the coastal blacktail deer we have. These particular deer really only move in the foulest of weather, so the stainless and fibre optic peep will be perfect for the rainy low light conditions.
I won’t see the goods for a week or two I’d guess, but I’ll be sure to post up when I get them. I had a long chat with one of the owners of RPP yesterday, and they are good people!

Re: Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
Wow, talk about a thread that had been long left for dead (at least by me)! Thanks for rejuvenating it and for the update. Glad to hear you've got one on the way and about how you're going to use it. I remember those black-tailed deer from when I lived in the PNW. Growing up in white-tail country, it was quite the sight at first!Redthies wrote:Well, I did it.ESquared wrote:Doesn't look like there are many (if any) users here.

From what kind of distances would you anticipate using the cloverleaf/Marlin set-up? Please send pics once you get it installed and have some range time with it.
It seems pretty cool, and, who knows, this might just be the "better mousetrap" you were looking for!
Thanks again!

Looking forward to hearing what you think as well. I have looked at them and talked to the owner of RPP about them. They look very intriguing.

Re: Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
They look very cool to me. I am drawn to the fiber optic and looks like windage adjustment would be very easy as well. I too will enjoy any more info/results about them! Almost looks like a hybrid Skinner.

Re: Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?
Yep, pretty much. I can't even remember how I came across it last fall, but it looked pretty cool. Just glad to see a member take the plunge and buy one, so we can get some first-hand reports!markiver54 wrote:Almost looks like a hybrid Skinner.
