I want to set-up my Marlin 1895 Cowboy in 45-70 for long range side matches at CAS shoots. I acquired a Lyman tang site for this rifle and want to install it. Anybody done this? I have a drill press with a vice for the table, proper drill and tap, etc.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me:confused:
 
Make sure you locate and tap the holes required so the sight sits perfectly square with the barrel and action, not tilted to one side.
 
KID: Make sure that you can still grip(hold) the gun properly with that tang site installed......I tried one free of charge(luckily) and there was no way to grip the stock with that in the way and don't forget R-E-C-O-I-L....that sight will bash your hand....installation uses a longer stock bolt than existing one....note where on the tang that would put the sight and try to grip stock!!!! You may save 100$ because of this advice, if so, send me $25 of it!! We both win!!
