I have a 44mag lever action. Stainless steel with laminate stock. I am not a big fan of the stock open sights.
Options I am considering:
1) Skinner peep sight. Can get in stainless, fast and can be accurate and keeps it semi authentic looking for a lever action. Disadvantage is having to play with front sight height as they are only adjustable for windage.
2) Low power scope. Do I get it in stainless finish to keep the look or not a big deal? Going stainless limits my options considerably. Otherwise I am thinking either a 1-6 or a 2-7ish.
I have one of the leupold patrol optics (1.25-4) on another rifle I could transfer it to but am open to other ideas.
This is going to be used for deer hunting from up close through 125 yards. Jump shooting, still hunting and sitting. Eventually also for others to use such as my son.
