Re: Skinner Sights on Marlin 1894 CL.

. I use tang sights on leverguns kind of like glass magnifying optics; great for precision and yet there is a 'fragility' tradeoff. The most rugged sights are things like the rear sight on the old Mini-14's, but for leverguns when I want 'rugged' I do love the Marbles 'Bullseye' sights - they are se...

I really prefer the aperture sight in the form of the Williams FP, due to the reasons you cite. Mounted on the front two receiver holes of a Marlin 1894, they are quite compact and durable.

Re: one shot with a 44 or 45 lever, whats you load

.
Dunno but the BULLET would definitely be a hard-cast lead with the heaviest weight I could toss out at around 1,000 fps. That velocity seems to be the magic one for deep penetration with hard-cast lead. Probably 300 grains or more.
Ideally a load I could use in Redhawk OR Marlin 1894.
