Description
Browning and Winchester make beautiful single shots in the Winchester 1885 tradition.
The SKINNER 1885 sight mounts in the two screw holes located on the barrel just forward of the receiver.
Mounting screws and wrenches provided. Accepts any of our 5 aperture sizes. Ships with a .125" Installed.
Front sight heights are unique, individual, and subjective to many variables. (Please call or email us if you need help in selecting a front sight.
Some rifles will require either barrel dovetailing (easily accomplished by a competent Gunsmith) or drilling and tapping for a ramp/sight combo.
"My son Dan and I have used this sight in the field for antelope and deer. For open country we chose a flat shooting 25-06 and shot Barnes 100 gr. bullets. We set the sights for a point-blank range of 300 yards. This made a dead on hold possible even at long range. He shot his buck at just under 200 yards and I shot mine at 325. One shot kills. Not bad for my old eyes...." Andy
