Looking at putting a set of XS ghost ring sights on a Marlin 336 35 Rem. They look durable, compact and really like the white line front sight. Only question I have is does the rear sight stay put once both screws are tightened down? It seems like it would still want to twist when trudging through the brush/laurel.

My XS Ghost Ring Sights has been on my Marlin 1894C 357mag for 20yrs and hasn't moved or lost POA. It has been my urban rifle and rode around in the pickup on the ranch. Very dependable and front sight is highly visible with the white line on front sight. I have been shooting Ghost Ring Sight at 50yds (6" steel gong) ,100yds 8"(steel gong) and 200yds.(10 " steel gongs)


Nothing like a Remington 700xcr.

I have aperture sights on all of my lever actions. I use either of two brands. One is the XS and the other is Skinner. Both are excellent sights. XS rear sights use the same screws for both elevation and windage adjustments. Skinner rear sights use a dovetail for the windage adjustment and another screw for elevation. I use which ever one I thinks looks better on the rifle.


There was no greater freedom than when I would leave Holiday Park Fish Camp heading my airboat west toward the Big Cypress. Fuel for 4 days, a good machete, an ice chest. No phone, no radio. Just God and me and the Everglades.
