Marlin 336 sights?

**Izzy** · 01-24-2011, 07:56 AM

I'm doing some work on a 336 for a buddy of mine, & one of the things he wants is new sights. This gentleman has shot with open sights on all of his guns for over 50 years. He has very poor vision these days, & is having trouble seeing his sights. When I started talking scopes with him, he responded with "I don't want no dam scope"!

What recommendations can you give me for good sights, for a half blind man, that seems to have a pronounced dislike for scopes? I would like to give him a longer sight radius also.

Thanks!

Try the TruGlo sights such as the TG114. These provide an improved sight option to not getting a scope. It worked for me...

similar to what is on the Puma's and others.

All of the ones mentioned above should do nicely...

I did show him a couple of guns I have with Fiber-optic sights on them, & he did liked them.

Can I get a Fiber-optic rear sight that mounts on the receiver? like I said, I would like to give him a longer sight radius.

I have a Williams peep rear/firesight front combination on a Marlin 336 and an 1895. I'm a scope guy, but you can't beat this combination for hunting in the brush here on the 'wet side.'
Here's a link to what I'm running..

Might see if he'd consider a red dot even though it's kind of a scope. I cut the rear portion of a weaver rail so it was the same length as my Burris Fastfire and mounted it on the rear scope mount holes. It's light, doesn't look goofy on a lever gun, at least not as bad as a scope and doesn't get in the way of carrying it by the receiver.

Peep sights?

Another possible option, XS Sight Systems - Scope Mounts

The hands down favorite on marlin forums and my personal fav on all my marlins is the skinner www.skinnersights.com
Well made, dependable, and good looking
