Hey 163dm,
I like the XS on the Winchester guns and have the same set up on my Model 94's, a Big Bore .356 Win and a Model 94 in .44 mag. On my custom Marlin 1895 in 45-70 I like the looks of the Skinner Alaskan receiver sight Andy of Skinner Sights made up for me years ago.
All of these lever guns including my three bolt guns that have iron sights have the XS front sight, it has a flat top and a white stripe in the center. This set up provides a good easy to find sight with a precise aiming point.
We mainly hunt with scoped bolt action magazine fed rifles, a 30-06 and a .338 Winny. But, the lever guns are our favorites for camp guns, truck guns, ATV riding, fishing, hiking, etc. They are easy to carry and all of them pack a big enough punch for about any circumstance Alaska's game has to offer.
Long live the great Winchester and Marlin lever guns!
