Nothing in my safe wears glass, never has, never will. They say: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Well I say; "behold the ugliness of a rifle, any rifle dressed in glass". Lever actions, like elegant women have curves and lines that God intended to catch the eye. Anything that takes away from those lines is a sin. However, my 336 came with an inexpensive variable scope and after tinkering with it for a while, it became apparent the rifle is capable of accuracy well beyond the ability of buckhorn sights. Today scope now shares space in a box with "Banjo Minnows", "True Motion Lures", the Ronco "Fishing Buddy" and several dozen 8-track tapes.
Moving along. Has anyone had any experience with the Lyman and/or Marble Tang Sights? I've looked at the Skinner receiver and think it my work very well but it reminds me of a naked scope mount, again with the lines.
So this is how I'm inclined. My Smith says he can install this folding sight

for close fast shooting and install a Lyman/Marbles Tang for long range, in my case that would be no more than 150 yards.
Anyone done anything similar? or have a different solution?
