Looks like one of his best yet...

That would look good on my big bore AE in 356. It already sports a Williams FP with a Skinner brass blade, but I really like the look. It would mean resighting, but just things you have to do.

Looks good! A few clicks and one is on the way.

[Old Savage]

I could like that.

+1 ... :)

Take measurements from the reciever to your existing aperture center friend!

I have a Skinner sight on my Guide Gun, and it is everything I have ever needed. I like the fact that you can e-mail Tim Skinner and he answers personally. Excellent products and great service.

If my 94 Angle Reject wasn't already fitted with a Lyman 66A I'd grab one of these. Not bad at all.

FWIW, Dr.Tim sold Skinner Sights last year - the new honcho, and the fella responsible for the new line of sights (no pun intended ), like this 94AE sight and the new clip-on sights for grooved rimfire receivers, is "Andy", and is just as easy to deal with as Dr.Tim - still excellent products & great service.

I looked at other photos on their site and it looks a lot taller from the side than my FP. I'm going to have to think about changing.

Looks like a nice alternative to the XS Ghost Ring for the 94AE which I have on my Trapper.
It seems the Skinner prices have jumped up in price since new ownership though still cheaper than an XS sight.

I wasn't aware of the sale. Sounds as if it is still in good hands.

Not to hijack the thread, but I was wondering if anyone here knew if one of the skinner brass front blades would take blueing. I was thinking about making a sourdough sight out of one by blueing everything but the front top. I tried emailing skinner sights about this a month or two ago, but haven't heard back.

Thanks.

I like the Skinner sights I have bought. They are well made. The post type front sights they offer are very good.

[iceman]

hammerman: I doubt bluing will change a brass blade, it is designed for steel. Maybe a paint and leave the edge brass.

Cold blue will turn uncoated brass a black color - just treat the brass part with a stripper first, incase it has a clearcoat on it.

Says it works well with existing factory front bead. I do hope that is true, as I intend to order one for my 44mag 94ae tonight.

Thanks for the info. If it doesn't work, I'll try paint like iceman suggested.

I noticed that. It sure looks tall though. I will probably get one for my 94AE .30-30 trapper. I've wanted and XS ghost ring but am afraid it would be too tall for the fiber optic I already put in the front. I guess a new front sight is pretty cheap, though.

I like that ... and especially the fact it is "way back there" by the hammer.

Even though my Win BB375 is scoped, I installed a Skinner just to have one, it is in the normal rear sight dovetail location.

Cheers,
