MArlin in 25-20

Post by chuck d »

Found one at my local gun shop and fell in love with it. My question is:
1. What silhouette does this fall into -Pistol? Is it an effective cartridge?
2. Who makes a good rear sight? No way I can use the buckhorn sight.

Thanks

The 25-20 is Pistol Cartridge, and not a bad one either. I'd look into a Williams receiver sight. Receiver sights often need a lower front too - maybe someone on the forum can say for sure. Good find!

Excellent cartridge for Pistol Caliber. Nice Marbles tang sight with Lyman 17a front will make you happy.

I have two now and I LOVE the 25-20. E-Mail me and I'll send you several pages of reloading data.
