I’ve had XS on two rifles that I didn’t shoot much but loved the function of them; and a Williams on a model 94 that while I didn’t like the looks or design it was easy to adjust and accurate with a fiber optic front.
I’m wanting to try the skinner out but the XS set is much cheaper and I know it will suite my needs. For those that had both, was the Skinner easier to adjust than the XS rear? For a front sight a prefer a post which white stripe. They both offer one, the XS is just cheaper.
Actually Matt, you can get into a set of Skinners for less than the XS's. I think the XS's are about $99/set but I bought a rear Skinner "Reliable" sight for my 1894 Marlin for $61 and the plain blued front sight was $15. I used a white paint pen to paint a white stripe on the front sight. If you go for the Express or Alaskan rear sight the price goes up pretty fast.
