XS Ghost Ring Hunting Sights

[The Hermit]

I have a Marlin Guide gun in 45.70. I also have crappy vision these days... can't hardly focus on the stock sights. So, I'm looking for alternatives and came across the XS Ghost Ring Hunting Sights. Anyone have any experience with them? What think you?

Alternatives? No I don't want a scope for it... but thanks. ;-)

glasses maybe? A scope is really your best bet.

I've got a set on my Guide Gun. IMO get the set with the protective "ears".
I think they're incredibly well made and extremely tough. With the bigger aperture sight acquisition is super quick. The smaller aperture may be a bit better for some smaller groups.
I've never shot mine past 50 yards as I'll never hunt with it, I use it for camp/bear protection.

I have just installed one from these folks and am quite pleased. It comes with a rear aperture or you can remove for the full ghost ring affect. This combined with the XS front blade with white stripe works great for my failing eyes.

I have a set on my .45-70. Work great...rugged plus easy and fast target acquisition. Shot a deer at about 75 yards with this set up, fall just past.
