Has anyone tried the Smith ladder sight for the Marlin rifles?

Hog Killer

I've not tried them but would be interested. Where are they available?
Thanks Frank

Frank,

Dillion, did list them at one time, I think.

Here's a link for Smith. Hope it helps.

I have one on my .45-70CB. I really like it. I got the optional peep slider and really like that. People poked a lot of fun at me saying I shoulda got a real peep sight but it shoots real good and is a lot less obtrusive than a receiver sight.

I use it for cast bullet silhouette.

Thanks for the info. These will work great on my leverguns.

z1r,

Which model did you get? What range will it go to?

Hog Killer

Part number 8004 Marlin 1895 sight.

I shoot a 405 LBT in front of 14.5 grains of Unique. I shoot out to two hundred meters and there is a lot of elevation left. With my loads, I'd have to say 4-500 meters ought to be possible. I would imagine further with stouter loads.
