Thanks, i had one of those scope mounts on a marlin once , but I think this rifle would still need to be drilled and tapped. I dont think Im gonna scope it anyway. The tang sight is actually a good idea, I have one in my junk box that I yanked off another gun once. I always wanted a winchester lever action w/ a tang sight, like Steve Mcqueen had in "Tom Horn" I would still need to to drill and tap the holes but I think it would go better on this rifle than a scope.

For those who use sights, how far do you feel comfortable shooting at deer?
