Went to the link, think it would be great on my new SGC, ( if I ever get it back :roll: ) however the SGC was not listed. :(

The things I really like are:

1. The fibre optics will really help at dawn and dusk when game is most active.

2. The cloverleaf “dividers” should act like a much smaller peep to help with accuracy but without blocking out the whole
target like a tighter aperture would do. With my Skinner .096 I get a great view of the target, and the .070 is definitely
more accurate, but for hunting may be too fine for low light or hurried shots (98% of hunts).

3. I really like the “wings” that protect the peep aperture. When in the bush, I can imagine snagging my Skinner on a branch,
or even bending it if (god forbid) my rifle falls over and hits something hard.

4. The windage and elevation adjustments seem like they should be fantastic. Range time will tell...

They aren’t shipping until Friday as they are expecting some promo goodies that they want to include for me. We actually chatted a bit about me doing some work with them north of the border where they have very little presence. I will definitely post pics ASAP, and will try to get some range time soon, but it will probably be on my turkey hunt just after Easter that I have the first opportunity.

They don’t make one for the SGC. You’ll be happy enough with the Skinner. They do however, make them for the .30-30,
.45-70, and Big Boys, so you can get one for one of those.

Please include when you report back the hole spacing (center to center) of the mounting holes. Thanks.

Will do. Should see them by the end of next week I’d guess.

If I wanted a set it and forget it receiver sight I would check out the RRP clover leaf peep sight. I like the idea of the points.

Skinner’s could be called set and forget as well, I’d say. Most peeps aren’t really quick adjusting, other than maybe the style that came on guns like my M1 Carbine. That one has a ramp you can slide the peep up and down on.

Yes I'd say Skinners are also mostly "set it and forget it ".
William's FP receiver sights, Marbeles and Lyman tang sights all adjustable and repeatable , can be used on Henrys .

I’m preparing things already... I looked at Henry’s
“Hi-Vis” front sight, and looked at the hood on the Marlin ramp. The hood would basically shade the front fibre optic, so I popped it off and opened it up to let the sun shine in. I think it’ll be good to keep a hood on to protect the fibre rod, as Henry has done. Before and after pics below with Henry Hi-Viz for comparo. I’ll wait for the RPP sight to show up as I ordered the “black” version and will want to match sheen on my custom hood.
