Hi Guys, Anyone put a receiver sight on one of their 22 lever actions and how do you like it? Which brand do you recommend?I just bought a really nice 39M from another Campfire member and it's such a nice little rifle I hate to anchor it down with a scope! Thanks for the input!!

I had 1 I put a Williams Fool-Proof sight on, it was a sweet little rig. I see that they are still available.

I have a Williams Fool Proof on my 39A with a 1/16" Marbles flat faced gold bead front. I kill plenty of squirrels with the little rig, it is a natural in the woods.

XS sight systems ghost ring & front blade. Just put a set on mine, trim and precise. $90 from Brownell's.

I've got a Williams reciver peep with a fiber optic front on my 39 Mountie. Love this set up for my 56 year old eyes. The front really stands out!

I guess the fact that I have replaced a lot of broken Williams aluminum sights drew me to the all steel Lyman sights has made me a believer that steel just doesn't brake as fast as aluminum.
You folks can have my share of aluminum sights, thank you.

You folks can have my share of aluminum sights, thank you. Ditto. I firmly believe the only type of receiver sight to put on an old Marlin 39 is a steel Redfield or Lyman. Here's mine with a Redfield 70. These old sight are tough to find and expensive, they do show up on Ebay occasionally. Put a sourdough front sight insert on, and you're good to go. ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/RickF/P1000265.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/RickF/P1000264.jpg)
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

New ones are alloy the same as the Williams.
