Re: Skinner peep sights

Having known for many years one of the persons involved in this incident and observing the manner in which this thread has developed, there's no doubt in my mind the person with whom I'd rather do business. And it's not someone who shows up from nowhere to attack the reputation of someone well know...

Re: Skinner peep sights

A gun was taken out in a snowstorm and developed rust and everybody but the one who is responsible for oiling it is to blame ? Product warranties would insolve every firearms and associated aftermarket manufactory if they were responsible for ferrous parts that rust. first part understandable, but ...

Re: Skinner peep sights

Figured I'd weigh in here... We tried to help Ralph and went out of our way to make things work for him. We have received 27 customer initiated email threads since the first of the year and did our dead level best to resolve all issues. Rob (not Robbie) made some phone calls, tried to answer questi...

Re: Skinner peep sights

. As a small business owner whose customers most all are either sick or in pain, so tend to be frightened or upset to begin with, it is very difficult to rectify any 'bad outcome' to the satisfaction of the customer, but I find that if I "do the right thing", it nearly always satisfies as...

Re: Skinner peep sights

If I was Andy, I'd throw your next order in the trash but it sounds like he's a better man than that. Just saying. zeph You’re absolutely right he is the better man. Maybe he could make his sight base out of aluminum, been working that way for decades with scope bases, why not his base ? It gets ol...

Re: Skinner peep sights

It sounds like the company went above and beyond to satisfy the customer. Yet the customer expected more, unreasonably, IMO, and still felt the need to try and drag the company through the mud because their tantrum didn't have the desired ending. People still need to know what's going on, and I wou...

Not saying that they are all bad, but just giving my experience.

Re: Skinner peep sights

Andy So I just went on the site to see they added the Remington logo to the main page but not under the peep sights. When you say brass model you mentioned in your email, assuming the whole thing was brass, only the windage dovetail is brass. I see no real reason for the dovetail to be brass and not...

Re: Skinner peep sights

. I don't know if you tried it, but I just use a lighter to heat/melt the ends of the fiber piece, and if done carefully the sight will seal-in and not move or fall out. I often change the color of my fiber sights. I keep some of these on hand - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1852479451?pid=1986...

Re: Skinner peep sights

Well IF Rob looked at the sight he would have seen the "rivot" on the fiber rod was on one of the ends. Why send it out like that ? :roll: I worked with other companies that didn't require a "trade" or sending it back.... you inconveninced me just before a hunt and Rob wouldn't m...

Re: Skinner peep sights

Would love to have heard the conversation. Was Adolph or Jack involved? I've bought and used Skinner merchandise for years. Years. Great customer service. Until I experience anything different myself I'll consider this post nothing but sour grapes. BTW, Andy sponsors your free speech pedestal. Is t...

Skinner peep sights

Nicely built but the finish came off after a week hunting. Underneath it rusted fortunately it didn't pit my receiver to bad. Thinkin about just cold/warm blue with a torch my self and see. The owner Andy said send it back to refinish it, told him nope, I can probably do a better job bluing it, then...

You just have to punch a hole through them in the right place. If it’s accurate, you can certainly do the job.
For sure !

Re: reduced loads for hunting deer

While I don’t know what kind of velocity that load might generate, I know several guys who load their .30-06 down to .30-30 levels so that their kids can shoot deer without the heavier recoil. Makes good sense to me. I might would use 30/30 bullets to do that however. 30 caliber bullets for the 06 ...

reduced loads for hunting deer

Hey fellers Got a nice mild load for one of my pump rifles. .30-06 180 grain Remington RNSPCL on top of 30 grains of IMR 4198. Sound good for short range for deer ? I'm sure there will be plenty of penetration and expansion 100 yards or less. Ant one hunt with this type of load for deer ?

Re: hunting with fiber optics in brush

I believe reckless tromping through brush after rabbits with dogs isn’t the same as big game hunting. Once in the brush, if daylight permits, gives you plenty of time to find them.

hunting with fiber optics in brush

Hey all, I recently got fiber optics and It's alot easier to shoot iron sights for my bifocal eyes at 59. Mixed reviews on them in regards to getting cold and brittle they break off. I guess if you aren't reckless through brush they should be fine. Just some feed back, maybe some feedback on how exa...
