Re: sight question

I actually like a “fixed” rear sight like a Skinner ladder sight and do my adjustment on the front sight. Even on my Ruger/Marlin Shootists 40th anniversary gun, the Skinner rear is bottomed out and I tried different front sights to get the right combination. But I don’t baby my rifles and I like t...
