Got one for a muzzy loader, wasn't high enough to get bullet on target as they claimed it would wanted me to but shims for their site. Ended up getting another site that works.

Skinner sights are EXCEPTIONAL products. I have them on 4 rifles.

Ok , general consensus seems to be , at the least , better than v notch or buck horn ! So I'm gonna get 2 , one for my 340 savage (barrel mount) and one for my henry ! Thanks for all the insight !

Well apparently the peep sights for savage 340 have dried up . I have found a skinner dovetail sight that replaces the original rear sight. Has anyone used one of these that can tell me how they worked vs a regular peep ? I have several Skinners including the one you are asking about on a 141. I really like it. For target shooting I leave the insert in, but for hunting I pull it. ETA - In case no one mentions it you may need a taller front sight also.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I called him on a Monday with the height and dovetail combo needed and it arrived in the mail on Thursday of that same week.

Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I went for the Marble's Peep sight for my Stevens 325C ... it might be worth a look ...

Wasn't sure about the front , figured I'd try them first. Was gonna plug the rear sight on the henry in hopes I wouldn't need the raised front sight.

I used a Skinner dovetail mount on a 340 30-30, took it off to use it on a leveraction and replaced the 340 with a Williams dovetail version mainly because my 340 was tapped for a scope mount that actually fit so I only wanted it for backup.

I have a Skinner rear on my Marlin 1894. I love it!
