Hello all I have a 65' model 30-30 94 that was passed down to me and I'm in search of a peep sight that won't require drilling any suggestions?

There's no holes in it for a Williams? Most of them from the 60s and 70s were d/t from the factory on the top of the reciever just forward of the hammer.

It's a good possibility I don't have the gun in front of me right now unfortunately. I presume the front sight would need to be taller as well ?

The sight sits up over the reciever a bit, so it'd be a pretty safe bet that a taller front would be needed. I haven't owned a 94 in a long time, though, so I don't remember for sure.

Is anyone running skinners ? They look pretty HD to me

I've put both Lyman 66 and Williams receiver sights on them and never had to change the front sight. I'd go with an old Lyman 66 before a Williams, or a Skinner for that matter. Hold the three in your hand and you'll see why.

True, Williams are pretty chinsey compared to a Lyman and they won't win any styling contests, but they do work well.

Just screw it on. Your rifle has pre-drilled holes for it from the factory.

It should be D&T’d on the side of the receiver for a peep.


Camp is where you make it.
