Pretty pleased that a cheap pair of low power readers might have fixed my problem with using the Skinner. My son's 336 30-30 has the Alaskan on board and I can use it just fine.
So, I've long wanted to jettison my Leupold 2.5 x 20 Ultralight on board my guide gun in favor of the peep, but am not sure the Skinner will work for me as the sight radius is shorter on the guide gun than my son's 336 (or 38-55 1906 Winchester, for that matter). If I have to scope a lever, the scope I have is just about ideal for its low profile and suitability for northern timber hunting.
However, I may have to buy it again if I sell it - would need to do that to make $ room for the Skinner. I'm not seeing it anywhere available and am wondering it the scope is no longer produced. Anyone know?
