Sir Henry, have you ever tried a tang sight on a mares leg?
Yes I have. It worked okay but no better than a receiver peep.

Out of the four of them I very seldom shoot the scoped ones.

just curious .... based on the fact that all I know about a M'sLegs comes from watching episodes of Wanted Dead or Alive, Josh fires from the hip and does so rapidly ..... I can't help but wonder how you would sight a scope on one of them .. :?:
Lucas McCain was the one that shot rapidly from the hip. Josh very seldom ever shot the Mare's Leg but he always got the girl.

My thought is with a tang sight on the .22 mag I still have my 3/8" groove and I can remove my rear sight and put a rail for additional goodies. Idk if I can find a tang sight for this though, there's only one screw hole in the top of the tang.

I purchased a Mares Leg in 44mag, fun to shoot and play with , but had issues holding it steady enough to hit targets 2, 3 times in a row, problem solved. I mounted a Crimson Site CMR-206 on it, dialed it in and what a difference, can hit targets shooting from the hip or anywhere I want to hold it. Hitting bowling pins at 75 to 100 yards now. I know it is not an optic, but sure is fun.

I put the Hi-Vis front site on my .22 ML and it really improved the quickness of getting on target. May still get a skinner as they really work well on my SGC in .22 and .22m
