"Maybe I'm an Okie."
--------------------

Maybe you're just OK.

I've got a .44mag that I've had for years. It's our official booger getter and armadiller popper. Haven't tried it on deer but will this year. It's very accurate but I'm wanting to put some type of peep on it. Any suggestions?

Schoolmarm, I searched for both Williams and Lyman receiver sights and couldn't find any for '92s, which surprises me greatly. Tang peep sights...yes, but no receiver ones. I personally don't have either on any of my guns right now.

Tried and true.

ColeYounger, had'nt thought about a tang sight. Will work and look better also. Thanks a million, will holler back when I get it set up to let you know how it worked out.

this is my 92, it is a 454. i did some work to it to smooth it up. the best thing i did was put a skinner sight on it. it is not in this picture. it is stout with full tilt loads. i am getting around 2100fps with a 300gr xto over 31gr h110. I also pinned the stock before it split. i plan to put a walnut stock on it eventualy.

14cm, which of the sights did you use? I may get one for my taurus 45 pump also.

here is the skinner sight. you get an extra tall front to go with it.

I have one in a 480. I bet those loads at 2300fps rock you a bit.

The reason you cannot find (and will never find) a receiver peep sight specifically designated for the Winchester Model 92 is that the Model 1892/92/53/65 takes the same receiver peep sights as does the Winchester Models 55/64/94/1894 (for which many are listed).

Since the Rossi Model 92's aren't factory prepped (D/T'd) for a receiver peep sight, there are even MORE options available to the Rossi owner.

Receiver peep sights meant for the top-eject Win 94 are side mounted, and a M92 can certainly use one of that config.

However, a Rossi M92 will also accept a top-mounted receiver peep sight, meant for a Winchester angle-eject M94AE from either Williams or XS via D/T one hole in the top of the rear of each receiver sidewall. (see bottom-most rifle, below)



A THIRD option for some Rossi M92 owners, is for those who have a later model which has the lawyer bolt-top safety.
The safety pops right out in less than a minute, and is easily replaced by a bolt top peep sight from either Skinner (LoPro) or www.stevesgunz.com



Either the Williams 5D94AE/FP94AE or the Skinner LoPro/Steve'sGunz peeps will readily zero using the issue height fgront sight blade.

Rangr, can't tell you how much I thank you for that. Like the looks of that Skinner LoPro, but mine is an older model. Thinking about drilling and tapping for it.

You are entirely welcome.

LOL, this thread reminds me that I was on a pig hunt a few years ago with a guy carrying a '92 rifle in .45 Colt. A small herd sort of charged in his direction and it was amazing how quickly he emptied that Rossi - Chuck Connors couldn't shoot blanks any quicker. When the smoke cleared he did have a nice sow though.
