Ranger Point CloverLeaf Peep Sight?

[GFK]

I agree. It is a personal choice. After serving 22 years in the Navy, my mind still thinks worst case scenarios. I just try to avoid any possible show stoppers. I still try and avoid power windows in vehicles. But, it seems to be more of a special order thing now.

I am happy to have found this discussion, I like the skinners on my 2 SGCs, but wanted something to replace the buckhorn on my BBS Carbine (.357). Peeps work better for me as my eyes get older. Thanks for the detailed review.

Update:
I made it to the range today. I wanted to continue zeroing my CloverLeaf. After figuring out which way I had to go, I think I am done for now. Even with the sun and rear sight in my field of view, I think it is zeroed okay at 25 yards. But, 100 yards is the test, which I will save for another day. I shot 12 rounds total. 3 hit the same POI, interesting. But, I think I have a good idea about the sight. I like it! It has a much better sight picture than the semi-buckhorn. So, I plan to remove it. Plus, it is in my field of view.

thanks for the update .... good to hear you are happy with the new sight .... looking forward to following your continued progress

Based on your info before you went to the range I ordered a cloverleaf, just need to mount it on my .357 BBS carbine. I also got a dovetail filler when I ordered. I will post results when I get it installed and sighted in. Thx.

Been following this thread along and thinking about ordering one myself. Im anxious to see how you like it when you get a chance to shoot it.

Glad you ordered one. I think you will like it! I thought about ordering a dovetail filler from RPP. I just have a hard time letting go $34. I seen one at Midway for $6. I think that I will give it a try. If I don't like the fit, I may go ahead and spend the $34. I was not crazy about spending $110 for the Cloveleaf peep. But, I am pleased with it. So, I may feel the same way, if I end up spending $34 for the filler.

[BigAl52]

I bet the filler from Ranger point will be a nicer fit that the ones from Midway.

[GFK]

Possibly. But, I may give the $6 one a try.

I read this thread with interest as I am also thinking of either getting the cloverleaf sight for my ordered BBS 44C, or mounting a 1.5-3X scope that I already own. My old eyes can still use peep sights as long as the aperture is large enough. I use the 50m ghost aperture on my M4 when using irons.

Just to close the loop, used a $6 blank.

Looks good GFK. I dont remember did you stay with the stock front sight or did you replace it with one of there FO

[GFK]

Thanks BigAl. No, I stayed with the standard front sight. I am not crazy about spending money, if I do not have to. I call it being thrifty. My wife calls it being cheap.

Money shots:

It was impossible to get the camera focused on both front and rear, for obvious reasons.

I like that combination.

So what does she say when you tell her you just ordered another Henry

[GFK]

Well, I did look for a Henry and ended up with a Marlin. I told her that it was for her. And, the grandkids can use it after we are gone.

I’m confused...

I’m guilty of this too lately. I traded my M1 Carbine for a Marlin 336 BL today. I have been looking for a .30-30 for a while, and unfortunately Henry doesn’t offer a .30-30 in a carbine, or with a big loop. After the dust settled on the deal I made, I netted out at getting $970 for the M1. I haven’t shot it in 5 years or more, so it was time to let it move on. I thought about a peep for the 336, but I have a 3-9 scope I want to put to use so I’m going to start with it. It’ll be my only lever with a scope.

I made an assumption, which may be wrong. I assumed it was a response to the current post.
