Nicely done, looks like you are in for lots of fun shootin'!Ralph357BB wrote:Final update on the Skinner barrel mounted peep sight. This was the third indoor range visit shooting at 25 yards from a standing position with ~2 second intervals. I had to move the peep sight more to the left again, and it's probably ~.090 off centered to the left. After I got home from the range, I raised the sight another 1/2 turn. This should be the last adjustment, Overall, my old eyes are happy with this barrel mounted peep sight.
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.
Installed Skinner blue barrel mount peep sight on my Big Boy.

Just another range visit with the Skinner barrel mount installed. This my fourth time out , and my old eyes are pleased with the results. I'm sure a receiver mounted Skinner would be more accurate, but the barrel mount is good enough for me.

Looks like you got it dialed in. I like the barrel mount Skinner's, too. Nice not to have anything hanging off the receiver.
