When you remove the stock buckhorn sights on the rifle to install peep sights, have any of you found a dove tail filler that looks decent on the rifle. The one from Skinner sights fits well but does not look very good on the rifle. Thanks.

Check out the contoured dove tail offering from Ranger Point Precision. Its around 30 bucks.

Rifle Barrel 3/8 Dovetail Filler Blanks | Black Nitride Steel, Stainless Steel Options.

Marbles used to make one for Octagon barrels.

I think they offer the best aftermarket levers for Marlin and Winchester, slightly bigger, but not goofy looking like some.

Their aftermarket loading gate for Marlin lever guns is a must have for me.

Good shooting Pard.

The Marble's and Lyman fillers both look pretty decent on round barrels. The Lyman seems to look a bit better on smaller diameter barrels, and the Marble's on larger, imho. I've got them on a few rifles. The Williams filler looks out of place on anything except an octagon;it's pretty tall.

Marbles also sells a folding barrel sight sight this one on my 1886 45-90.

I have one of those folding #95 sights on my Win 9422. The windage adjustment is slick, works great as an inside-25 yard backup sight.

Ditto on the RPP filler. Also, some craft their own from an old rear sight.

A good peep sight is never a problem 😁
