For my Marlin 39A. Haven't shot it yet, just got it the other day. Looks nice on the gun.

Is that the XS Ghost Ring?
If so, good sight system.

I haven't shot it yet. I took the elevation adjusmement clip/piece out of the original rear sight and I can see the front sight just fine.
I really like this gun and it shoots fine, but I was surfing the NET and saw this and thought I would give it a try. I think it is a good looking addition to the rifle.
The rifle was a hand-me-down from my dad, so it has sentimental value, and I plan on keeping it.

I did that once on a Marlin 30/30. had to raise my front sight about 1/4 inch. It shot like 12 inches high until I did.

Good for in-close, not for 50yds or more precise shooting.
Not a real peep aperture, more for point and shoot.

 :)I disagree Thinkingman, I use one a bit I find 2-3 inch targets at 100 yards a piece of cake with them. Your eye naturally centers the bead.
