Installed a Marble's Tang Site on My 92

[Rooster59]

Yup. Already saw those and many old threads on other forums. Still gathering opinions.

I am having an MVA vernier installed on my 1895CB Marlin and anticipate that causing me to want to lob a few Lee 452-300's out of my trapper at metal targets out to maybe 200. The MVA has drained the piggybank so the Taurus looks enticing for a plinking sight on the trapper without a lot of cost.

The tang sight I see on the Taurus website is listed for other rifles - I guess I'd want to confirm that the base would fit (there are probably posts here on that). Then there's build quality - the Marbles is a very well made piece of work. The price difference certainly is an issue, but sometimes you get what you pay for?

The model that fits the 62/72 rifles also fits the tang angle and factory drilling of 92 and 94 rifles. I've seen forum posts of that model sight on both the centerfire rifle models. The critical reviews related to finish appearance rather than functionality.

Pretty hard not to give it a try. If I were going to compete with the rifle I'd certainly choose something like an MVA 130 series. This will be strictly for goofing around only.

do the stock rear sights interfere with a Tang mounted peep? id like to add a peep to my 92. cant decide if id like to use rear sight for hunting or the tang sight.

Not really/yes they do. You could leave them in place and line up the aperture, the rear blade and the front bead, but it will line up slower for you (if you're like me/most of us). The best solution IMO is to spend another $20 and install a Marbles folding rear sight, which would normally be folded down flat, out of the way, but could be popped up if you leave the tang sight folded.
