I was finally forced to put a scope on my 1897CL (39a) due to my poor eyesight. But before that, I had a Marbles Tang sight and a Lyman 17A Globe sight on her.
My favorate set up for squirrel hunting was a combination of Lee Shaver inserts. I used the small post and bead combined with the crosshairs. This pic doesn't show it, but I wound up painting the bead of the post & bead white. This helped tremendously with dark backgrounds.
I wound up putting a Burris 4-12X32 on her and just love it. I generally hunt with the scope set at 4 power, but if I need to I can crank her up to 12X and get up close & personal.
I must admit though, the gun looked and handled so much better with the tang/globe sight set up as opposed to the scope.
