I'm about to go trade my Calico for a Marlin 336 (plus some other gear).
The Marlin I'm looking at is in solid but used shape (probably 1960s). Needs a new buttplate, and the front sight is busted up where the bead used to be.
I'm thinking to get a new front sight, and a new rear while I'm at it.
Currently, I'm looking at getting a front sight (gold bead) and rear sight (semi-buckhorn) from Marble. www.marbleoutdoors.com
Besides tang sights, Williams receiver sights, and the XS sights, are there any other options out there?
Tangs look cool but interfere with my grip, and are expensive and fragile. Williams look kind of unstable with that crane-arm. The XS are expensive. We have Marble sights (with full-buckhorn) on our donated Henry rifle at the UT Range, and they seem pretty slick.
Opinions?
