We went with a .494" Lyman Globe on the front - this sight setup really works well for us.Redthies wrote:Aside from the style of windage adjustment, I don’t see how it’s nicer, but that’s up to the individual. How tall a front sight did you need to go with? It looks like the rear peep is quite high.tractortad wrote:You could put a Skinner rimfire groove rear sight on your H001 that is even a little nicer than the sight on the H001TLP - if you want to spend the $.

Re: Skinner Peep
I have Skinner peeps on both rifles I have. One came with the SGR and I purchased a Lo Pro for my. 357. I did not change the front sights on either. The other day I was ringing a steel torso target at 100 yrds using my .357, much to my and my companions amazement. First time shooting at 100 yrds.

he sure did and I have to say I was impressed with the group his bullets left on the target ..The Wiz wrote:The other day I was ringing a steel torso target at 100 yrds using my .357, much to my and my companions amazement. First time shooting at 100 yrds.

Re: Skinner Peep
I would expect you to be gonging a torso at 100 yds with a $3.00 B.B. gun given your credentials Mr Wiz!
I’ve got a 6” round gong I’m going to take out soon with my .357 Carbine with Skinner sights. I hope to be able to try it at 50, 75 and maybe 100 yds. I’m not terribly optimistic about hitting it with the .357 at 100, but my 7mm should ring it.

Re: Skinner Peep
I would say probably 50 plus yards that the front sight on the SGR would not need changed. I don't know though, because all my plinking is done at 25 yards. At 25 yards to get on target I definitely had to change the front sight. On all three lever 22's that I have. The levers that I have with Williams rear peeps I have not had to change the front sight on. The Williams FP peep sight will sit lower than the Skinner but the receiver has to be drilled and tapped. Hassle. My Marlin came with the receiver drilled and when I bought my BL-22 Browning someone already had it drilled and tapped for the Williams peep.
Really Skinner is the way to go and just replace the front sight for 25 yards.
