Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk Another Rendition from Ruger

That's a neat looking 1895. I like the slimmed down fore-end.

I bought a GBL when they first hit the market. JM stamped. Price was $599.00.

I replaced the factory semi-buckhorn open sights with the XS ghost ring sights. The front sight was fairly tall. I didn't like the rear sight being so 'proud' of the base.

So what I did was bottom out the rear sight, and then turned it up 1/2 revolution to give it a little bit of wiggle room. Then I zero'd at 100 yards. Initial rounds were about a foot low. I used a file on the front sight to bring the POI up to center., then touched it up with a bluing pen.

Now the rear sight is down low, zero is 100.
