I've got em on my 1894 44mag.  She hasn't gone hunting yet, but yes the white line does stand out good in low light or against dark background.  I'm gonna replace some other front sights with white line XS post, that is how much I like it.  DP

ive got a set on a 44 mag marlin and a set on a 1022 ruger and like them. the white line adds a few minutes to shooting times in low light but not alot. I had dave clements make me a front sight for my 4570 marlin that has two trinium bars one on top of the other verticlaly like that white line and that works great in low light but it cost me near 200 bucks to have it made.

I just installed an xs scout scope rail, and a leupold 2x scope, and a ghostring rear with a white line front sight. looks awsome!

I have had this on one of my 375 Marlins since they came out, NICE product!!

went to the range today.  Took the marlin 1894 with xs sights white line front and ghost ring rear, and leupold 2x pistol scope on xs scout rail. after sighting in both, I was shocked to find out that i could replace scope, and return to zero.  very cool!  I love the sights too!

I took mine with some others this weekend and punched a lot of paper.  The ghost ring is not for target shooting, but is extreamly fast in picking up moving targets.  While minute of deer, they were running about 3" with the ghost ring at 100 yds while factory open sights are in the 2" range.  DP

I have them on my 1895GS 45-70 Remlin........ ::)
Had to put on a clockable front base and dovetail post from XS in order to correct the error by Remlin.
