tang sight for winchester 94
« on: June 16, 2008, 09:48:42 AM »
I'm considering replacing my 1.5 - 4x scope with a tang sight on my winchester mod 94. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is the Lyman #2 a decent choice?

The Lyman #2 might not be adjustable for windage....? Not sure,   but Marbles' tang sights are.  You might want that option of being adjustable for windage no matter what brand you go with.

Here is a link to gunblast, you'll see the Marbles' sight here.

The Marbles Tang Peep sight is approx + $60 more than the Lyman #2.

Pay your $$$$ and make your choice - they're both decent sights, for their intended use.

The Marble's is readily click adjustable for both windage & elevation, while the Lyman is only so for elevation - but is adjustable for windage with a simple addition of a thin shim under one side or other of the base.

Both elevation adjustments are easily click adjustable, to accommodate those shooters, as in Metallic Silhouette, who need to constantly re-adjust elevation for long/short ranges.

So, your selection really boils down to two issues:

1) How much $$$ do I want to lay out ?

2) Am I always changing the windage adjustments (a rarity) ?

Whichever tang sight you decide on (if you go tanger) - consider having a folding rear barrel sight ILO a dovetail slot filler, so that the barrel sight can be zeroed for short range(s) , then folded down & the tang flipped up for the long(er) range shots it was zeroed for.
