Re: new small game carbine and pump 22s
Youre very welcome. I’m 50, and my eyes are still fairly good, but the need for 1.25 reading glasses has started to hit (iPad time doesn’t help I’m sure). The .070 is about the smallest I found practical with the stock front sight. The .040 may work with a better front sight?

Hope you’ve got lots of ammo.Ernie wrote:Picked up the carbine yesterday and the pump a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with both. I really like the hex barrels and am looking forward to trying out the Skinner peep. I am looking for a smaller diameter peep, any suggestions for size? If it is not raining or 30 degrees this weekend I will have to try them out.

Got my new skinner peep sight (.070) today, seems better than the .096 that came with the gun. Hope the weather holds for this weekend.

Re: new small game carbine and pump 22s
Will be interested to know how the .070 works for you as opposed to the stock .096! I have considered going to a smaller aperture.

Re: new small game carbine and pump 22s
Raining Saturday, went to range but too cold and miserable to stick around. 28 degrees and spitting snow Sunday so I stayed home and baked bread. Next week end supposed to be much better. Want to try the stuff I picked up over the winter.

Had a little time this morning and went out to the range to try these two rifles. Just put up some clay targets and put on the .070 sight on the carbine. Out of the box both guns were pretty spot on, at 50 yards held the front sights just at the base of the targets and was breaking clay consistently. Had a pretty good time and was glad I got the smaller aperture Skinner sight.

Re: new small game carbine and pump 22s
Thanks Ernie...good info since I just got a SGC. was wondering about the .070 aperture. Glad your results were good! Might like to like to tone it down from the stock .096.Ernie wrote:Had a little time this morning and went out to the range to try these two rifles.
