I have a Redfield Sourdough front sight and a Lyman #56A on a 1949 vintage 94 carbine in 25-35. When I got it, it had a huge white bead front sight that was about useless beyond 100 yards and totally useless when hunting snow covered ground in northern New England. Hard to beat the 64s, sadly so few people under age 40+/- appreciate the Winchester 94s and most have never seen, shot, or even heard of a 64.

PS - At one time, probably pre-WW2, Lyman sold a peep sight insert with a gold(?) ring around the outside of the insert that really drew the eye. Mostly, I just leave the inserts at home when I'm hunting and save them for the range.
