I use scopes on my levers except for the Winchesters. I use Wilson peeps and find they are superior to the buck horns for my style of shooting. I dont shoot at running animals except rabbits. I'm sure the layman's are just as good. I always shy away from newer alum stuff. Just doesnt seem as hardy to me.

You can't go wrong with Williams. They're better than a rear buckhorn if you have aging eyes. They're unobtrusive. Rugged. And just look right. Here's one on my 336 .35 Remington.

Me too, what he said. Just ordered another FP94/36 for another 70 year old 336A ADL that I am sprucing up.

Same here.Once in a while you'll see a set for sale in the Classifieds.

Have you looked at the "winged" Skinner sights? They protect the ring itself and are really good for thick brush, the twigs just slip right over them.

I like the Williams FP, comes with 2 different front sight blade heights, very easy to install also.
The back sits on the back 2 holes in front of the hammer, unscrew the regular peep out for dusk& dawn hunting.
Very sleek sight no snagging on brush & little branches getting caught between sight and receiver.
Want the scope back on, 30 seconds gets the sight off, scope mount back on.

I have thought about trying the WRGS mentioned in the thread on my 336 35

I installed one of these along with a fire sight front on my Marlin and it made a huge difference seeing my sight picture, especially in deep woods.

I have the Williams "Ace in the Hole" Sight/rail combo on both my 336s and on my 1894 as well as on my CVA muzzleloader. I have found that its a great combo for some added flexibility. It basically adds a low-pro pic rail on the top for a optics option while having the Williams peep built into the rear of the rail. They are great when you can find them. As you can tell, I am a fan.

I had one of these on a Marlin 444, but replaced it with the FP, and then eventually a scope. I didn't like adjusting that sight, and much preferred the FP.

Skinners work great with lots of options

I like the look and size of ghost rings, but for about the same price I can pop a TRS-25 red dot on 2 rifles.

Went with the skinners. Glad I did. Good company, good service, and a good product.

Had to add the higher front sight. But it'll bust clays at 100 yards now.

Will try to bust a doe with it this fall. And will go to bear camp as my bad weather rainy day walking gun.

I have been happy with XS sights on a couple of lever rifles I shoot as well as my 375 H&H bolt rifle. Somewhat of a large aperture but I’m comfortable with them.

OK,,,,,, this the way I roll..... XS-Ghost-Ring and Front Post...... Lj

I got a couple of redfield one piece bases with a peep attached!

Never could get them to work with the front sights tho.

Peeps add to accuracy no doubt.

They also keep you from shooting past or B4 legal hunting light!

I got Lasix a while back......I prefer the buckhorn with the white diamond now!

I am sure as my eyes get older it will be back to peeps.

I just bought a 336 35Rem and bought this peep sight as well as a scope rail. I'm currently using a scope to test out accuracy (the easier way). I'm amazed by how accurate this rifle is and think I'll stick with a scope - it lines up well.

Consider the "long" Marbles Bullseye peep. Mounts in the barrel's dovetail slot (simple DIY). Not as precise as a receiver-mounted peep sight with click adjustments, but once you tap it left/right for windage, and file /stone the elevator slide steps for desired elevation, you are all set. Low cost: $20.

The big benefit is you can mount a scope on the receiver with a picatinny/Weaver style scope base (easy on/off if needed) and have a very functional peep back up sight.

If you don't like the bigger outer ring, just cut/file it off. Easy peasy.
