I have got a Williams peep on the rear and am wanting to upgrade the front sight
does anyone have any views on the MVA 113 and the Williams combo for the old dirty 30
Thank you

I sure don't - because all my sight upgrades have been to fibre-optic (FO) sights for hunting.(not good for paper target use)

Check out some of the Lyman globe front sights. I have a Canadian Centennial carbine with a Lyman globe front sight and Williams adjustable for the rear sight. Plan on doing the same with it's bigger brother with the 26" long barrel. Frank

I have a MVA sight set on order for my Winchester 94 rifle, made 1901. I'll let you know how I like it. I did not get the spirit level as I tend to cant the rifle when I shoot and the level would only confuse me.

The LYMAN 17 series sights are pretty good...IMHO...I've used them on my MARLINS for 30+ years. You can get other insert cards from BROWNELLS, etc. I've got the windgauge MVA front sight on my 50/90 SHILOH SHARPS BUT I would not get another one. While MVA is traditional, the LYMAN system retains the inserts a lot better...again IMHO..but lacks the spirit level which may be unnecessary at 30/30 ranges.

I've used the LYMAN 17 front and either a LYMAN or WILLIAMS receiver sight on my rifles with excellent results. One step-son managed to drop an 1895 MARLIN Cowboy and destroy a LYMAN, but I'm a little more careful.
