Like I stated before, have them on all my levers. Love them, so easy on the eyes and so easy to zero in on your target. Glad I was was able to help in finding a solution for your lill problem. 👍🏼🤙🏼❤️🤠
That little sight is deceptive. It looks like a $20 sight, shoots like a $100 sight and is built like a tank. I'm surprised there aren't more around. Especially on our treasured Winchesters where peeps are hard or awkward to implement. Thanks for the comment!
Target Suite yeah couldn’t believe them when I first found them, but will swear by them/recommend them to all. Love the way they work, and like you said, aren’t cheap nock offs. Happy Shooting. 👍🏼❤️🤠
Thanks! It's great to hear from my Northern "brothers". Btw, I may be Texas raised with Louisiana roots, but I was born in Saskatchewan. The little town of Shaunavon.
I was born in Portugal but raised in Toronto Ontario, and I now live in Kingston Ontario. It’s always pleasing to see your videos. Very well narrated and high quality footage.
It’s funny you mentioned you’re in Texas. My daughter is married to my son-in-law who is in the military and he’s from Houston Texas. They both now live in Watertown, Fort Drum. Thanks for the reply, stay safe.
Love it! Can't beat headin out into the woods to play around with any lever gun, esp an 1892 👍 Great stuff. That's some beautiful property. Thanks for sharing.
Sure enjoyed this nice slow ride through your beautiful woods! And that Mule is the perfect way to take things slow and easy and see all that beauty. Such a cool vehicle! Also might need to get that great looking Marbles sight for these old eyes. Thanks for another great video and a sweet time in the woods!
It was the M106, a 105mm recoiless rifle that mounted a .50 caliber spotting rifle. This was a slightly shorter version of the .50 cal Browning round that was calibrated to match the larger RR round. Great infantry weapon. Neat looking sight. Thanks for the video.
All my center fire lever guns have aperture rear sights on them, either receiver or tang mounted. I got a Henry 22 lever gun a few years back, and hated the open notch sights it came with. Mounted one of these Bullseye rear sights on it, big improvement - not as good as a true peep, but it was inexpensive and super easy to install.
I agree that a tang or receiver peep would be better and since both of my Marlin 336s have factory holes in the side of the receiver, I am going to add a Lyman or Redfield peep to those.
Marble bullseye is the best value sight on the market. I have them on my marlin 1894 44mag, henry 357 carbine and will be putting another on win 1892 44 mag. They are $25 here in canada. To get a skinner aperture takes about a month and costs me an additional 40% because of exchange rate and credit card fees. Bullseye for the win. Thanks for your fun and educational vids.
Hi George awesome woods crawl with your mule and 92. Beautiful woods different than what I'm use to here in Tennessee a lot easier to hike around. The bullseye looks good on your 92.
I can't remember if I committed about those sights . I have two I bought several weeks ago. Haven't had a chance to install yet. Glad you like them cause means I probably will.
Target Suite about a month from now. Moose season starts in September, and fall is a few short weeks. Got a Marlin 1895GS a few weeks ago, and I’m excited to put it to good use. Mostly plinking with a few boxes of ammo so far. Grouse and ptarmigan opens then as well, and I have a 1954 Marlin 39a inbound next week for that.
Thanks so much for another interesting and informative video. That Marbles Bullseye Sight will be the answer to my sighting problems on my Winchester/Miroku 1892 Trapper in .45 Colt. Enjoyed learning about the Mule too. From steamy Bluffton, SC.
Hello, after watching the show, I ordered the marble bullseye sight, just finished installing on my pre-64, 32 Winchester spl, really like the sight picture, can’t wait to go to range, thanks
I have had success with that same rear Marbles Bullseye model sight on my '92 rifle. I also placed the larger white pearl Marbles front sight. Pick flies out of the sorgum on the back wall with it.
Can't believe I actually found these sights in a nearby store in Germany. They are 30 Euros (~$36) but I guess that is still pretty okay for imported gun parts around here. I really don't like the Buckhorn sights on my Rossi R92 but I was looking for an open sight that would be permitted in my club's competitions (no diopters, no custom-made sights and no optics). These are fine according to the rules and I'm definitely going to get them!
Thanks for the timely video. Have an old savage 6a gill gun I use for squirrel hunting but now that I'm hitting 70 those sights are just not what they use to be. Not wanting to drill and tap the old girl or put modern optics on her I have been mulling over these Mable sights. Your review convinced me this is the way to go. Ordered the sight along with a taller Williams front sight from Midway. Thankyamuch from South Carolina.
@@TargetSuite Thanks again for the review of the Marbles Bullseye sight. Just back from the range sighting in the Savage gill gun with the new bullseye sight and a new .500 Williams front . After a few minor adjustments I'm putting shots into inch and a quarter circles at 20 yards. Front sixteenth inch bead clear as a bell, rear sight fades to just enough to center the front. The old Savage was made as far as I can figure in 47 give or take a year or two. Think she might have another 70 years in her. Now I just have to make it to 140 to keep her company.
Great video I really like your property it’s beautiful what a nice place to shoot . I am going to get one of those sights for my 94 win. That’s a cool vehicle goes just about anywhere.
Great video 👍. That mule would be very useful around a farm or ranch. I really like the site picture with that marbles bullseye. When you did the shot of that site picture was the camera where your eye would be or was it closer? Also I noticed that the elevator is different how do you like the operation of it versus the factory elevator with the buckhorn? How many clicks up do you have to go to be on at 100? Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comment Brian. The picture was taken at about where the eye would be. It's really easy to get a good sight picture. The unique elevator is fine, and as far as 100 yard setting, that would be entirely dependent on the front sight height. I had to remove it on one of my 1892s to find zero at 50 yards. Perfect.
Thank you TS for your work.. or play. I purchased a Sinner sight per your recommendation for my Marlin 39A. Just got this Bullseye for my Winchester 67A. I was beginning to give up on shooting it after falling in love with the Skinner on my Marlin. Read you review from Brownells and found a review on my Winchester 67. Thank you!
I have it on my 20 inch 45 colt Rossi 92. With the factory front sight and my reloads, I've found I can leave the elevator out of the sight and hammer my 8 inch steel at 100 yards all day long. I just hold a few inches under up close and call it good.
My two favorite’92’s are the 45 Colt and 44 mag, my go to’s. Have the 45 in a 16” barrel and the 44 in 20” both in stainless steel (do have a second 45, blued and Big looped). Only one I don’t have and really want is a ‘92 in 454 Casull. Best wishes and great day 🤙🏼❤️🤠
Just finished installing the Marble Bullseye sight on my 1892. Used the brass punches from Browning’s you recommend. No filing necessary. Install went great. Thanks for the recommendations! Now just need to see how she shoots.
Target Suite Ordered a pair of Elvex shooting glasses to see if they help. Have a pair of the SSP glasses but they’re too week. Sent them a message to see if I can get new, stronger lenses.
Great. Either one works for me, except when shooting one handed with a pistol. In that scenario, but SSP magnification is in the wrong place . . . for my shooting posture.
The mule is awesome I remember me and my dad watching Maximum Overdrive and the the mule appeared with all that Ammo and a M60 on it that little vehicle brought back some memories for my dad he was a tower gard in the Vietnam war so I’m assuming he drove one of those to get his Ammo to his tower
I had wondered how it would work. I normally use a Williams peep sight for my lever / pump rifles and had concerns about the “peep” rear sight being so far forward. But the sight picture you posted really shows the difference and I think this sight will work for me. Thanks for the video. Great as always.
Hi Mark. What's amazing about this sight is, and I can only speak for me, it works better than either of the other aperture sights I have featured on my channel. And it only costs twenty bucks ! ! !
Target Suite Just a follow up. I got back from a local range here in Houston with my new Bullseye attached to my 1894 Marlin in 44 mag. I went with the short one for this rifle and also purchased the longer one for an 1895. All I can say is WOW. With 270 grain Speer and a max load of H110, I am one inch high at 50 and about a half inch low at 100 and 3.5” low at a very realistic 125 yard ceiling for my hunting area. It is so easy to pick up the sight picture. I have a Williams fiber front sight which works very well. Thanks again for the video because I knew a little about this sight before your video but my prejudice was do to the misnomer that it operates exactly like my Williams peep sights. But it doesn’t. Similar but different. It is very fast and my last group of the day was a 3 shot 1.2” group at 100 yards. With my 52 year old eyes, I can’t ask for more. Very happy and thanks again.
That's great Carl. Btw, I eventually took the ramp out from underneath the Bullseye sight to get the groups down where they need to be. Let me know how yours works out.
Hi Marco. It's full of fish, but even though the last two years have been bountiful from a rain perspective, the excess rain has diluted the nutrients in the pond and it didn't "bloom" until June. So we lost the first spawn or two of bait fish and the bass are suffering. I hope the food supply can catch up and the bass can fatten up.
To me that is one of the best 4 wheelers you can possibly find. I would love to have one. I think I would put one of the fold down canvas tops on it. You should know how hot that big ball of fire can get down here in Louisiana. I came across your channel by recommendation and I find you have some of the same interests in guns and other stuff that I too enjoy. I have several lever action rifles that I shoot all the time from original model 1873 Winchesters to 92 and some old Marlin Safety rifles. My favorite is a short barreled saddle carbine in 38/40 calibre. You know the 44/40 cal. bullets were fine, but believe me the 38 caliber in a slightly swedged 40 case really slings the lead out much better than the .44/40. I've taken several deer with the over 100 year old rifle and it is in perfect mechanical operation as well as all the rest of my lever guns. People don't seem to understand just how much firepower the old timers really had when they had these 'old' guns. I have a Winchester 73 also in 32/20 caliber with a long octagonal, heavy barrel and you cannot imagine just how accurate that the old gun is. I don't have to shoot black powder in these old guns either, they are rated to handle regular smokeless powder charges and people really think you have to shot black powder in them but that is just not true. I shoot re-loads in all of them but I have ordered and gotten factory ammo that came as smokeless charged ammunition specifically for all of these old rifles. They made really good quality steel back in those days, of course the bullets must be accurately charged with the right powder especially the older guns that only have the toggle lock with out any benefit of the later locking mechanisms that came after 73. Keep on shooting and I'll keep on watching.
Wow! That's a great collection of great rifles, and I confess . . . until recent years I had dismissed them and those old cartridges that fed them as obsolete and uninteresting. Today, I would give my left toe (what's left of it) to get my hands on 'em and experience some of that "obsolescence" 😄
Okay, here's the one about the hunter that tags his deer before it's dead. Guy 1 is hunting, he spots a buck, and takes a shot. The buck goes down. Being a dutiful type, the first thing he does is fill out the tag and attach it to the antlers just like the law said... well as you might have guessed, the deer wasn't dead, just stunned, it got up and ran over the hill, where guy 1 hears another shot. Well he trudges over the hill to find guy 2 starting to gut out "His" deer. Guy 1 says "Pardon me but that's my deer." Guy 2, "How the hell you figure that, I just shot it." Guy 1, "Well that's my tag right ther on his antlers." Guy 2, "Well if you can tag the son of bitch before you shoot it, you can damn well have it'" Guy 2 sheaths his knife, picks up his rifle and walks away muttering under his breath.
Great video. Since you have revised both the Bulls eye and Skinner aperture site, which one do you recommend? I have a Henry Model X in 45-70 and wanted to upgrade my sights. Thanks!
Both are good. But the rearward mounted Skinner will give you a longer sight radius and the potential for better accuracy. But my pistol caliber carbines like this one are more fun guns and ranges are shorter so I prefer the Bullseye sight on them.
I really like that sight. Seems better than most ghost rings I've seen. And I'd bet its fast too. And I was wondering about the mule as you pulled out LOL
Nice sight I used Skinner sights on my Marlin for years. I might take the scope off and put the Skinner back on. I'm not shooting more than 50 to 100 yards. So I will put the scope on something else. I'm looking to relocate to South Carolina getting out of NY. I would like some land. You have a nice see up. Really like your new buggy. All the best..
Ours was a hand me down . . . an old family farm (since 1870) that I converted into a family "retreat". So it's a great piece of property with history. The Mule has been around for 10+ years, but had problems that made it unfriendly to use. My son corrected most of those and so I'm going to make it more a part of the channel experience going forward. Do I remember right that you are from South Carolina?
@@TargetSuite No born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Was in the United States Army for thirty years about 17 in the Ranger Regiment. So I'm familiar with the South. I can't take the cold anymore and the nonsense here. Now I live in a suburb of New York city. I retired in 2010 disabled. But hopefully I will be from South Carolina soon about a year.. Cool about the farm 🚜 good things come to good people
Target Suite, do you still recommend the Bullseye sight? Thinking of putting one on my 1954 Winchester 94 in 30-30. The sight should be a great help for my old eyes.
Going to have to get one of these for my Rossi 92 and Miroku 94!! I have Hi Viz sights on my Henry .357, but don't think they'd look right on one of these classics. Love the video! By the way, did you have to replace the front sight as well, or did the factory one work ok with the Bullseye?
It still has the factory sight, but I am constantly repainting that brass bead with hi-viz orange paint :-) And I did have to remove the elevator to get it down low enough.
I like that sight. Is it easy to adjust for different distances? I wasn't sure if you had a misfire at 9:20 or had the saftey on. I forgot that I had the saftey on the guide gun once and took me a second after the click to realize it so now just mostly use the half cock. Another cool video and I like the big trees, nice view.
@big ben It's adjustable, but the spring force of the sight is very high so it requires significant effort to raise the sight enough to adjust the elevator. So it's not practical for quick, in the field, adjustments for longer shots. That "misfire" was from the safety being left on. The Miroku Winchesters don't have a true half cock. So the only options are to travel with an empty chamber or use that darn tang safety. But I love the rifle, so the the tang safety is just a "quirk" now and not a source of irritation😉
For me, I'm not fond of what we used to call peep sights. I found that I was not as accurate with them as the regular buckhorn, but then I was used to the buckhorn anyone can tell you reload you catch most of the empties and try for all of em. You want to smoke clays, use either a 45 70 or a 12 gauge slug.. that will smoke em for sure, if you hit em, they're gone to dust. Glad it works for you, seems you're quite handy with it set up that way. I'd like to find a 22 or something small caliber in a lever gun. Just to have fun with, I no longer hunt. trouble is places to shoot around here are scarce if you don't know somebody... and I don't.
It's funny. The deer and turkey population here has exploded in recent years, but I have no desire to hunt either. But I sure love to shoot. and if a wild pig presents himself, I'll sure enjoy shooting in his direction. Thanks as always for the comment!
@@TargetSuite well trudging through the hills, (I hunt, I don't sit in a blind or tree stand) might be doable these days, if I got one, dragging it out would be nigh on impossible for me. I love deer, elk and antelope meat, but chasing it down these days.. no way, besides the deer here in Alabama are so small, they're hardly worth the trouble. I guess you could do like my wife did one time..her then husband and his buddies went out to hunt, they left only a 22 behind. Well she sat on her porch (in the country) with that 22, and as she figured, as soon as the hunters started they scared the deer her way. A nice buck stopped in her yard, she popped it with a 22 right behind the ear, and down it went. She had it gutted and hanging from a tree when the guys returned from their fruitless hunt. I'll bet his buddies never did let him live that down, but then at least his wife got one, they got nothing.
@@TargetSuite wife is smarter... and a better shot. She'd been picking squirrels out of that tree she hung it from for months to feed the dogs. She would have liked to use a larger caliber of course, but all they left her was the 22. No worries, you make a good shot, a 22 is big enogh Here's another true story. Durring the depression era, my grandfather was running a trap line on the T O ranch in New Mexico. He heard an elk call, but couldn't tell where it was coming from at first. He happened to look over the side of this plateau he was on, and about 30 feet below him was a bull elk on a ledge outcropping. All he had with him was the old 22 he used on his trap line. Well he snuck up to the edge carefully, aimed down, aiming for the head so as not to spoil any meat. He fired, the bull just shook his head. Just as he fired the second time, the bull fell and the shot went off his horns. according to him, the hardest part was getting it to the old model T he used like a jeep, then sneaking it into town and the house ... it wasn't in season... but it was the depression a guy did what he had to do to feed his family. Gramps was never one to break the law in any way, but when it came to haveing food on the table or not, with 4 kids to feed... well he did whatever he had to. Gramps told me a story one time, bunch of wannabe bear hunters were sitting around a trading post discussing what caliber of gun to use. All big calibers... an old trapper hears the discussion, pulls a 22 lr out of his pocket and sets it on the table... "That's what I use, and have taken six bears... how many have you guys taken" Not another word was heard from the wannabes... of course the trapper didn't mention he trapped them first. I've got tons of stores. eeven one about a guy that tags his deer BEFORE he kills it.
Wow! I'd kind of like to sit around at the trading post listening to the rest of your stories! But you got a laugh from me with the 22lr pistol/bear "hunter" story. So the stakes are high😀
So 9 months later are you still using the bullseye sight? I'd really like to have a tang sight but can't do it with the Winchester. Have you heard if the Rossi 92 quality is any better today? Thanks 👍
Yep. I love the Bullseye sights for the kind of shooting I do. I posted a video on the Rossi. You'll have to scroll through my "library" to find it. I was pleased with it.
I've never tried the long eye relief aperture before but I've always thought they look handy . I was reading some post about the Mojo aperture sight that is also barrel mounted mostly for Mausers and Mosin nagant. Guys were claiming to cut there groups in half and were very happy with it especially because it mounts in the factory sight location and you don't have to drill anything just like your marbles sight. Marbles has been around forever so I'm sure quality is excellent. I also seen guys also doing the aperture front sight also... Have you tried this before? Seems weird but all the competition guys use them I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing
I have the exact same sight on my Marlins. I got them from Brownells. Purchased 3 or 4 of them. They come with a short or long base. Get the long as it is easier to adjust. Your eye will naturally centre in the rear and you only have to concentrate on the top of the front. Very fast, accurate and efficient. Great video.
Hows do those sights hold up with rougher use? Just got a '92 Winchester, and my eyes can still do ok from a bench where I can take my time, but for quicker sighting, its rough. I'm assuming that the LONG version is the one to get? Anyone tried putting the front bead right over the top of the inner bullseye and see how that fares for longer distance? I was thinking, maybe sight in the 45 Colt for 50 yards, but by using the space between the two rings as 150 yards? Just a thought.
My previous favorite was the Marlin 1894 44 mag. It was not as accurate as I needed, but it had an aperture sight. The 1892 can't take a typical aperture like a Skinner, XS or Ranger Point Precision sight, so this Marble Arms sight puts the 1892 over the top. Now my favorite by a long shot.
Just bought two of these, one for my Chiappa m92 357mag and Henry big boy 45 colt, very inexpensive alternative to a Williams or Lyman receiver aperture sight.
Definitely the longer one. The short one is veeery stiff and hard to install and lift to adjust. Let me know what you think when you got a few rounds down range.
Dennis it works real well for me. But I don't need much distance correction so a little close in magnification (SSP or Elvex magnified shooting glasses) sharpens up the sights and leaves the target clear enough to center on.
Haha! Fair question. But no, I got Premiere Pro'd. It took me forever to find out there is a file of Adobe cache files that was "full" and preventing me from uploading the full video. That's why the original version was available for an hour yesterday before I realized it was only half of the video.
I like that sight. I like that gun. I liked the intro. I like the mule. Great video.
Thanks! The "inspiration" for that ride down to the creek came from one of my favorite channels😉 Thanks for the comment!
Like I stated before, have them on all my levers. Love them, so easy on the eyes and so easy to zero in on your target. Glad I was was able to help in finding a solution for your lill problem. 👍🏼🤙🏼❤️🤠
Me too. I've got two other rifles that will be upgraded with this sight.
Looks like it worked out good I need to try out one of those, Great video as always, thanks for showing us the mule
That little sight is deceptive. It looks like a $20 sight, shoots like a $100 sight and is built like a tank. I'm surprised there aren't more around. Especially on our treasured Winchesters where peeps are hard or awkward to implement. Thanks for the comment!

Larry, I believe you were one of two guys who mentioned the Bullseye sight.
Just ordered one.
The buckhorn doesn't work for me either.
Thanks for the video!
Awesome. I think you'll like it!
Two great topics in one video! This is why I return. Take care.
Thanks! I'm guessing fall is just around the corner for you guys. Was it Yellowknife?
Target Suite about a month from now. Moose season starts in September, and fall is a few short weeks. Got a Marlin 1895GS a few weeks ago, and I’m excited to put it to good use. Mostly plinking with a few boxes of ammo so far. Grouse and ptarmigan opens then as well, and I have a 1954 Marlin 39a inbound next week for that.

Hello, after watching the show, I ordered the marble bullseye sight, just finished installing on my pre-64, 32 Winchester spl, really like the sight picture, can’t wait to go to range, thanks
That's great. I'm pretty sure you are going to like it. Let me know.
Target Suite I liked the sight so much I just installed one on my savage 99, thanks for the review, keep up the good videos
I have had success with that same rear Marbles Bullseye model sight on my '92 rifle. I also placed the larger white pearl Marbles front sight. Pick flies out of the sorgum on the back wall with it.
Hey Rooster. I'm thinking about a new front sight as well. Maybe a fiber optic front sight to pick up better in compromised lighting.
Can't believe I actually found these sights in a nearby store in Germany. They are 30 Euros (~$36) but I guess that is still pretty okay for imported gun parts around here. I really don't like the Buckhorn sights on my Rossi R92 but I was looking for an open sight that would be permitted in my club's competitions (no diopters, no custom-made sights and no optics). These are fine according to the rules and I'm definitely going to get them!
That's amazing that you found them in Germany. I know you will like them over the buckhorn variety!
Thanks for the timely video. Have an old savage 6a gill gun I use for squirrel hunting but now that I'm hitting 70 those sights are just not what they use to be.

Hi Jack. Glad to help. Let me know what you think.
@@TargetSuite Thanks again for the review of the Marbles Bullseye sight. Just back from the range sighting in the Savage gill gun with the new bullseye sight and a new .500 Williams front . After a few minor adjustments I'm putting shots into inch and a quarter circles at 20 yards. Front sixteenth inch bead clear as a bell, rear sight fades to just enough to center the front. The old Savage was made as far as I can figure in 47 give or take a year or two. Think she might have another 70 years in her. Now I just have to make it to 140 to keep her company.
Great video I really like your property it’s beautiful what a nice place to shoot . I am going to get one of those sights for my 94 win. That’s a cool vehicle goes just about anywhere.
Thanks Craig. At just $20 the Marble Arms Bullseye is a low risk "experiment". But I'm pretty sure you will like it .

The unique elevator is fine, and as far as 100 yard setting, that would be entirely dependent on the front sight height. I had to remove it on one of my 1892s to find zero at 50 yards. Perfect.
@@TargetSuite Cool 👍
Thank you TS for your work.. or play. I purchased a Sinner sight per your recommendation for my Marlin 39A. Just got this Bullseye for my Winchester 67A. I was beginning to give up on shooting it after falling in love with the Skinner on my Marlin. Read you review from Brownells and found a review on my Winchester 67. Thank you!
Hi Budd. It's testimonies like yours that make all of this worthwhile for me. Thanks for sharing!
I have it on my 20 inch 45 colt Rossi 92. With the factory front sight and my reloads, I've found I can leave the elevator out of the sight and hammer my 8 inch steel at 100 yards all day long. I just hold a few inches under up close and call it good.
Eddie, mine shoots a little high and for some reason, I never considered taking off the elevator. Thanks!
My two favorite’92’s are the 45 Colt and 44 mag, my go to’s. Have the 45 in a 16” barrel and the 44 in 20” both in stainless steel (do have a second 45, blued and Big looped). Only one I don’t have and really want is a ‘92 in 454 Casull. Best wishes and great day 🤙🏼❤️🤠
Would love to have the 454 Casull as well. Thanks!
Just finished installing the Marble Bullseye sight on my 1892. Used the brass punches from Browning’s you recommend. No filing necessary. Install went great. Thanks for the recommendations! Now just need to see how she shoots.
Great! Let me know how it shoots with the new eyes!
Target Suite Ordered a pair of Elvex shooting glasses to see if they help. Have a pair of the SSP glasses but they’re too week. Sent them a message to see if I can get new, stronger lenses.
Great. Either one works for me, except when shooting one handed with a pistol. In that scenario, but SSP magnification is in the wrong place . . . for my shooting posture.
The mule is awesome I remember me and my dad watching Maximum Overdrive and the the mule appeared with all that Ammo and a M60 on it that little vehicle brought back some memories for my dad he was a tower gard in the Vietnam war so I’m assuming he drove one of those to get his Ammo to his tower
They were ubiquitous in Vietnam but somehow, I never saw one. Not sure how that happened.
The intro was great, like seeing a small tour of the property. Looks like
a nice chunk of land you have their :-)
Yes Nick. We are blessed. There is a lot of work to keeping it nice, but it's good, mind clearing, soul blessing work.
@@TargetSuite God is good, have a good week :-)
👍 You too! Thanks!
I had wondered how it would work. I normally use a Williams peep sight for my lever / pump rifles and had concerns about the “peep” rear sight being so far forward. But the sight picture you posted really shows the difference and I think this sight will work for me. Thanks for the video. Great as always.
Hi Mark. What's amazing about this sight is, and I can only speak for me, it works better than either of the other aperture sights I have featured on my channel. And it only costs twenty bucks ! ! !
Target Suite Just a follow up. I got back from a local range here in Houston with my new Bullseye attached to my 1894 Marlin in 44 mag. I went with the short one for this rifle and also purchased the longer one for an 1895. All I can say is WOW. With 270 grain Speer and a max load of H110, I am one inch high at 50 and about a half inch low at 100 and 3.5” low at a very realistic 125 yard ceiling for my hunting area. It is so easy to pick up the sight picture. I have a Williams fiber front sight which works very well. Thanks again for the video because I knew a little about this sight before your video but my prejudice was do to the misnomer that it operates exactly like my Williams peep sights. But it doesn’t. Similar but different. It is very fast and my last group of the day was a 3 shot 1.2” group at 100 yards. With my 52 year old eyes, I can’t ask for more. Very happy and thanks again.
I should try this sight on one of my Rossi 92's. Are you planning on replacing the Skinner with one of these on your 45-70? Another great vid
Hi David. No plans to swap out yet, but I plan to do some kind of comparison video soon. Not sure what that will look like yet.
I have watched all of your videos pertaining to this video and I finally just bought one off of GunBroker. I can't wait to get it.
That's great Carl. Btw, I eventually took the ramp out from underneath the Bullseye sight to get the groups down where they need to be. Let me know how yours works out.
Afternoon George, good to see another no B.S. video. Hope that sight works out for you.👍👍
Thanks Robert. I'm pretty sure it's going to be my favorite aperture sight. But I do need more time "behind the wheel" before I'll be all in.
What magnification are your SSP glasses? I just ordered a set of 1.5 for myself. Hopefully they'll do the trick!
I use 1.0 and 1.5 both. It just depends on the lighting.
Got any fish in that pond hunt hint video fishing 🎣😁 another good one ☝️. Marco
Hi Marco. It's full of fish, but even though the last two years have been bountiful from a rain perspective, the excess rain has diluted the nutrients in the pond and it didn't "bloom" until June. So we lost the first spawn or two of bait fish and the bass are suffering. I hope the food supply can catch up and the bass can fatten up.
To me that is one of the best 4 wheelers you can possibly find. I would love to have one. I think I would put one of the fold down canvas tops on it. You should know how hot that big ball of fire can get down here in Louisiana. I came across your channel by recommendation and I find you have some of the same interests in guns and other stuff that I too enjoy. I have several lever action rifles that I shoot all the time from original model 1873 Winchesters to 92 and some old Marlin Safety rifles. My favorite is a short barreled saddle carbine in 38/40 calibre. You know the 44/40 cal. bullets were fine, but believe me the 38 caliber in a slightly swedged 40 case really slings the lead out much better than the .44/40. I've taken several deer with the over 100 year old rifle and it is in perfect mechanical operation as well as all the rest of my lever guns. People don't seem to understand just how much firepower the old timers really had when they had these 'old' guns. I have a Winchester 73 also in 32/20 caliber with a long octagonal, heavy barrel and you cannot imagine just how accurate that the old gun is. I don't have to shoot black powder in these old guns either, they are rated to handle regular smokeless powder charges and people really think you have to shot black powder in them but that is just not true. I shoot re-loads in all of them but I have ordered and gotten factory ammo that came as smokeless charged ammunition specifically for all of these old rifles. They made really good quality steel back in those days, of course the bullets must be accurately charged with the right powder especially the older guns that only have the toggle lock with out any benefit of the later locking mechanisms that came after 73. Keep on shooting and I'll keep on watching.
Wow! That's a great collection of great rifles, and I confess . . . until recent years I had dismissed them and those old cartridges that fed them as obsolete and uninteresting. Today, I would give my left toe (what's left of it) to get my hands on 'em and experience some of that "obsolescence" 😄
I put one on my Rossi '92 .357. Works great.
Awesome. I'm glad it worked out.
I'll have to look into getting one of those Marble sights for my '92, because I can't hit much with that Buckhorn rear sight either.
They are awesome replacement sights for sure. And cheap!
Okay, here's the one about the hunter that tags his deer before it's dead.
Guy 1 is hunting, he spots a buck, and takes a shot. The buck goes down. Being a dutiful type, the first thing he does is fill out the tag and attach it to the antlers just like the law said... well as you might have guessed, the deer wasn't dead, just stunned, it got up and ran over the hill, where guy 1 hears another shot. Well he trudges over the hill to find guy 2 starting to gut out "His" deer. Guy 1 says "Pardon me but that's my deer." Guy 2, "How the hell you figure that, I just shot it." Guy 1, "Well that's my tag right ther on his antlers." Guy 2, "Well if you can tag the son of bitch before you shoot it, you can damn well have it'" Guy 2 sheaths his knife, picks up his rifle and walks away muttering under his breath.
Great story. Or is it a tale? Either way, it's great!
That's a great one. !!! 👍
Great video. Since you have revised both the Bulls eye and Skinner aperture site, which one do you recommend? I have a Henry Model X in 45-70 and wanted to upgrade my sights. Thanks!
Both are good. But the rearward mounted Skinner will give you a longer sight radius and the potential for better accuracy. But my pistol caliber carbines like this one are more fun guns and ranges are shorter so I prefer the Bullseye sight on them.
Forgot to mention LOVE my ‘92’s, have one in most calibers. Beautiful melon shot. Hell with the “clays” the melon was soo much better. 👍🏼❤️🤠
Haha! The clays were going to be part of another story, not part of the fun😄
Got one on my marlin 39a. Love it
That's great. They are wonderful, and cheap, sights!
GREAT VIDEO JUST GOT MY SIGHT HOPE TO INSTALL TONIGHT
Awesome! Let me know what you think!
The a frame. Probably the best bullets in this world!.
I have a "Seeall" sight on my rossi 92 and it works great.
Details on this site?
I really like that sight. Seems better than most ghost rings I've seen. And I'd bet its fast too. And I was wondering about the mule as you pulled out LOL
It's a great sight. Fast and easy to acquire! Details about the mule are at the very end of the video.
Looks like pigeon pie for supper with a watermelon wine wash down, those clay pigeons might be a little hard to swallow. Keep up the good work
Fiber Ben. Just think of the clays as fiber😄
Nice sight I used Skinner sights on my Marlin for years. I might take the scope off and put the Skinner back on. I'm not shooting more than 50 to 100 yards. So I will put the scope on something else. I'm looking to relocate to South Carolina getting out of NY. I would like some land. You have a nice see up. Really like your new buggy. All the best..
Ours was a hand me down . . . an old family farm (since 1870) that I converted into a family "retreat". So it's a great piece of property with history. The Mule has been around for 10+ years, but had problems that made it unfriendly to use. My son corrected most of those and so I'm going to make it more a part of the channel experience going forward. Do I remember right that you are from South Carolina?
@@TargetSuite No born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Was in the United States Army for thirty years about 17 in the Ranger Regiment. So I'm familiar with the South. I can't take the cold anymore and the nonsense here. Now I live in a suburb of New York city. I retired in 2010 disabled. But hopefully I will be from South Carolina soon about a year.. Cool about the farm 🚜 good things come to good people
Nonsense is hard enough to take when you can walk off the frustration . . . alone and outside😄
@@TargetSuite Amen
Target Suite, do you still recommend the Bullseye sight?
Thinking of putting one on my 1954 Winchester 94 in 30-30.
The sight should be a great help for my old eyes.
Hi Dale. I love the Bullseye Sight from Marble Arms. I've got it on three rifles now.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Going to have to get one of these for my Rossi 92 and Miroku 94!! I have Hi Viz sights on my Henry .357, but don't think they'd look right on one of these classics. Love the video! By the way, did you have to replace the front sight as well, or did the factory one work ok with the Bullseye?
It still has the factory sight, but I am constantly repainting that brass bead with hi-viz orange paint :-) And I did have to remove the elevator to get it down low enough.
I was looking at the skinner sight for my model 1892 in 454 Casull, but I like the looks of this marvel sight.
I think it just looks too simple and as such people, like me, pass by to get the more expensive options from Skinner and others.
Target Suite I just bought the short version of the Marble bullseye from Midway.
That's great Dale. Let me know how it works out.
Target Suite Got the Marble bullsey sight in a few days ago got it installed today, I will let you know if I need to replace my front sight as well.
Great! I need a slightly taller sight but it is close enough for now. I'm still churning on whether to get a fiber optic front sight.
That is the first "mule by shooting" I have seen.
Haha! Trying something a little different😄
Now that you have this awesome rear sight, remind me not to piss you off! :)))
It really has upped my game😄 😄 😄
I like that sight. Is it easy to adjust for different distances? I wasn't sure if you had a misfire at 9:20 or had the saftey on. I forgot that I had the saftey on the guide gun once and took me a second after the click to realize it so now just mostly use the half cock. Another cool video and I like the big trees, nice view.
@big ben It's adjustable, but the spring force of the sight is very high so it requires significant effort to raise the sight enough to adjust the elevator. So it's not practical for quick, in the field, adjustments for longer shots. That "misfire" was from the safety being left on. The Miroku Winchesters don't have a true half cock. So the only options are to travel with an empty chamber or use that darn tang safety. But I love the rifle, so the the tang safety is just a "quirk" now and not a source of irritation😉
@@TargetSuite George , they all have their little quirks. You seem to hit pretty good with it.:)
Thanks. That Marbles Bullseye really is easier for me to see a good sight picture with.
For me, I'm not fond of what we used to call peep sights. I found that I was not as accurate with them as the regular buckhorn, but then I was used to the buckhorn anyone can tell you reload you catch most of the empties and try for all of em. You want to smoke clays, use either a 45 70 or a 12 gauge slug.. that will smoke em for sure, if you hit em, they're gone to dust. Glad it works for you, seems you're quite handy with it set up that way. I'd like to find a 22 or something small caliber in a lever gun. Just to have fun with, I no longer hunt. trouble is places to shoot around here are scarce if you don't know somebody... and I don't.
It's funny. The deer and turkey population here has exploded in recent years, but I have no desire to hunt either. But I sure love to shoot. and if a wild pig presents himself, I'll sure enjoy shooting in his direction. Thanks as always for the comment!
@@TargetSuite well trudging through the hills, (I hunt, I don't sit in a blind or tree stand) might be doable these days, if I got one, dragging it out would be nigh on impossible for me. I love deer, elk and antelope meat, but chasing it down these days.. no way, besides the deer here in Alabama are so small, they're hardly worth the trouble. I guess you could do like my wife did one time..her then husband and his buddies went out to hunt, they left only a 22 behind. Well she sat on her porch (in the country) with that 22, and as she figured, as soon as the hunters started they scared the deer her way. A nice buck stopped in her yard, she popped it with a 22 right behind the ear, and down it went. She had it gutted and hanging from a tree when the guys returned from their fruitless hunt. I'll bet his buddies never did let him live that down, but then at least his wife got one, they got nothing.
Great story. I'm sure there is a moral there somewhere . . . do your huntin' close to home . . . hunt with your wife instead of your buddies😄
@@TargetSuite wife is smarter... and a better shot. She'd been picking squirrels out of that tree she hung it from for months to feed the dogs. She would have liked to use a larger caliber of course, but all they left her was the 22. No worries, you make a good shot, a 22 is big enogh Here's another true story.
Durring the depression era, my grandfather was running a trap line on the T O ranch in New Mexico. He heard an elk call, but couldn't tell where it was coming from at first. He happened to look over the side of this plateau he was on, and about 30 feet below him was a bull elk on a ledge outcropping. All he had with him was the old 22 he used on his trap line. Well he snuck up to the edge carefully, aimed down, aiming for the head so as not to spoil any meat. He fired, the bull just shook his head. Just as he fired the second time, the bull fell and the shot went off his horns. according to him, the hardest part was getting it to the old model T he used like a jeep, then sneaking it into town and the house ... it wasn't in season... but it was the depression a guy did what he had to do to feed his family. Gramps was never one to break the law in any way, but when it came to haveing food on the table or not, with 4 kids to feed... well he did whatever he had to.
Gramps told me a story one time, bunch of wannabe bear hunters were sitting around a trading post discussing what caliber of gun to use. All big calibers... an old trapper hears the discussion, pulls a 22 lr out of his pocket and sets it on the table... "That's what I use, and have taken six bears... how many have you guys taken" Not another word was heard from the wannabes... of course the trapper didn't mention he trapped them first. I've got tons of stores. eeven one about a guy that tags his deer BEFORE he kills it.
Wow! I'd kind of like to sit around at the trading post listening to the rest of your stories! But you got a laugh from me with the 22lr pistol/bear "hunter" story. So the stakes are high😀
106mm gun mount. there a story back in the battle of hue city vietnam 1968 where this gun save many marines lives.
I've heard about that! Great story!
That sight seems to very accurate. Did you have to order a taller front sight also? Enjoyed the ride through the woods and the shooting. Nice.
I have the rear sight bottomed out and it is still shooting a little high. So I will probably order a new front sight so I have some "flexibility".
Hey George, what caliber is that '92? It's got some pretty good thump! Love my old 38-40!
That one is in 44 Magnum. I also have the .357 Mag version.
So 9 months later are you still using the bullseye sight? I'd really like to have a tang sight but can't do it with the Winchester. Have you heard if the Rossi 92 quality is any better today? Thanks 👍
Yep. I love the Bullseye sights for the kind of shooting I do. I posted a video on the Rossi. You'll have to scroll through my "library" to find it. I was pleased with it.
@@TargetSuite Ok cool I will check it out. Thanks 👍
I've never tried the long eye relief aperture before but I've always thought they look handy . I was reading some post about the Mojo aperture sight that is also barrel mounted mostly for Mausers and Mosin nagant. Guys were claiming to cut there groups in half and were very happy with it especially because it mounts in the factory sight location and you don't have to drill anything just like your marbles sight. Marbles has been around forever so I'm sure quality is excellent. I also seen guys also doing the aperture front sight also... Have you tried this before? Seems weird but all the competition guys use them I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing
Hi Brian. The front aperture is great for high contrast conditions, but I suspect in "the field" it would be a disadvantage.
@@TargetSuite Yes that is what I hear the aperture front sight is target only but... I would like to put it to the test. Thanks
If you try that out, please let me know how it was. Maybe something I can look at down the road.
@@TargetSuite Ok I will. Thanks
Every Bullitt have its ovn compartment. I'm talking about swift bullets!.
Nice video mate. Hope those sights fit rossi lever
Here you go . . . ruclips.net/video/6Cuo-hKkp4g/видео.html
@@TargetSuite thanks mate
Midway USA has them in stock last I looked on their site
Thanks. Great sights!
I have the exact same sight on my Marlins. I got them from Brownells. Purchased 3 or 4 of them. They come with a short or long base. Get the long as it is easier to adjust. Your eye will naturally centre in the rear and you only have to concentrate on the top of the front. Very fast, accurate and efficient. Great video.
Thanks, and I did get two of the long ones. As stiff as the long ones are, I don't know how you would adjust the short ones.
Hows do those sights hold up with rougher use? Just got a '92 Winchester, and my eyes can still do ok from a bench where I can take my time, but for quicker sighting, its rough. I'm assuming that the LONG version is the one to get? Anyone tried putting the front bead right over the top of the inner bullseye and see how that fares for longer distance? I was thinking, maybe sight in the 45 Colt for 50 yards, but by using the space between the two rings as 150 yards? Just a thought.
I haven't roughed them up yet, but they look to be as strong as the original Buckhorn sights. I love them!
@@TargetSuite Good to hear! You got the long version?
Yes. And it has a very stiff spring. I can't imagine installing the shorter version. That would be tough.
@@TargetSuite Thanks!
Bud, You need to head over to the Tack shop or local Leather guy, and get yerself a scabbard made up fer yer mule.
You are right. And I need two. One for the mule and one for the four wheeler/side by side.
Interested in knowing where you get your brass punches. Thanks.
Brass punch came from Brownells. I modified the end to fit the dovetail slot myself.
Nice video. You didn't grab poison ivy at about 12:20 did you? I enjoy your channel.
BTW my model 92 is my favorite rifle to shoot on my place.
Haha! I had to go back and check in slow motion. That was a laurel or beech sapling, not poison ivy😄
My previous favorite was the Marlin 1894 44 mag. It was not as accurate as I needed, but it had an aperture sight. The 1892 can't take a typical aperture like a Skinner, XS or Ranger Point Precision sight, so this Marble Arms sight puts the 1892 over the top. Now my favorite by a long shot.
Did you swipe that steering wheel off of a Super M Farmall?
Haha! Pretty sure that is stock military issue. Maybe they subbed it out to Farmall ;-)
I'm wondering if is compatible with the Rossi 92?
Sorry. I don't have access to this rifle any more. So, I am not sure.
Steve's guns sells them for the R92
Was the stock front sight used in combination with the Marble Bullseye rear?
I did keep the stock front sight, but on the later .357 Magnum 1892 I had to remove the elevator to get the sight low enough.
@@TargetSuite Thank you, sir.
Just bought two of these, one for my Chiappa m92 357mag and Henry big boy 45 colt, very inexpensive alternative to a Williams or Lyman receiver aperture sight.
Awesome! I think you'll like them a lot!
Do you have any deer in those woods. Put a camera out. The forest floor is very clean very little debris.
Lots of deer. I posted a quick video to Instagram a couple of days ago showing a doe and two fawns walking through the back yard.
We had. Mules in Vietnam.
It's funny, I spent a year in Vietnam and never saw one. Could be because I was an air traffic controller in Vung Tau, if you know what I mean.
Target Suite I was stationed in Chu Lai, and DaNang, I saw the mules on Hill 63.
I've heard about Hill 63. When was that? I was there in 71/72
Target Suite I was on 63 in October of 1967, my tour was from Sept. 1 1967 to Aug. 31st 68. I was a convoy guard at the time, I was Army.
I was Army as well. Finished my stint at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio.
Are you shooting a 44 Magnum ?
Yes, I forgot to mention that in the video.
Alas, the Bullseye sight is not legal for SASS cowboy action shooting. Hang on to your stock sight .
Amen. Always keep your "take offs"

@@TargetSuite Thank you. I have a Winchester 1892. Should I order the 1.875" length or 2.75"?
Definitely the longer one. The short one is veeery stiff and hard to install and lift to adjust. Let me know what you think when you got a few rounds down range.
How does it work with old eyes iam 66
Dennis it works real well for me. But I don't need much distance correction so a little close in magnification (SSP or Elvex magnified shooting glasses) sharpens up the sights and leaves the target clear enough to center on.
@@TargetSuite yea i will have to find some of those glasses
I posted a video on those. Check it out when you have time ruclips.net/video/Mbtg_V2gQKg/видео.html
