www.skinnersights.com -- I can't say enough good about Dr. Tim Skinner. Great guy to work with, who is a retired Dr. and now makes sights on a lathe and mill at home. His sights mount on 1894 and 1895 Marlins, most of which go on the rear receiver, close to the eye.
I put one on my Mossberg lever, and now my Ruger 10/22. Both are outstanding. Didn't know how much of a difference in BOTH speed and accuracy a peep makes until now. If you dislike the aperture, you can unscrew it and it becomes a 'ghost ring', for even more acquisition speed. He can also make the aperture smaller or larger, depending on your preference.
Here are a couple of photos of the Skinner Sight (this is the lo-pro model) on my Mossberg 464.

One more thing I have to add... Dr. Skinner will make it right! He sent me the wrong threaded lo-pro for my 10-22. It was threaded 8-40 pitch -- standard for the Marlins. I needed it 6-48 pitch. I dropped him an e-mail and he has the correct one on the way this morning. Can't beat his customer service.
