I am a levergun hunter and shooter and horseman and the three dovetail well for my needs.
I don't rely on iron sights of any kind these days, I have had and XS , Ghost ring set up on a Marlin 1895 for a while. Tough to beat a long eye relief, variable scope, imo.
I can detach it from the rail when needed, I can wrap my hand around the reciever for carrying. I have pretty much switched to BLR's for my Elk and sheep hunting and won't go back to a turnbolt anytime soon.
A slender levergun should slither in and out of a saddle scabbard for my purposes. A smith can fine tune a BLR BLR trigger if you require it.
