Re: Winchester .357, Take Down, Trapper

Trooper Joe , Can I join your club? :D :D :D :D I just got mine after a wait of 10 months and it now has the honour of being the most expensive gun in the house but it was worth it. Action is smoooooth as silk and it shoots like a dream. I have just ordered a Skinner peep to replace the rear buckho...

Re: Skinner sight question

I just put one on my Henry Golden Boy 22 in brass and it fits + looks well and shoots easier for my daughter.
I addition I just ordered a blue one for my NEW... Miroku/Winchester 92 trapper takedown which I just picked up today

Well pleased with the service from Andy at Skinner

Need some help with my Henry

Ok Here’s the deal . I just picked up a nearly new Henry 22lr Golden Boy for my 11 year old daughter as a Xmas present. I have just mounted a Skinner brass peep to replace the buckhorn and it looks real nice (and a big tanks to Skinner for excellent service, with a delivery time of 10 days to Norway...

Re: 1st levergun and first post

Re: 1st levergun and first post

Welcome to the fire! And you made two excellent choices IMHO. The Skinners have nothing but a great reputation. I have the XS sights which are very similar and like them a lot. If you are planning on choosing one load for your 92 and sticking with it, then that type of sight is great. If you are go...

Next gun arrives in 3...
