- In this video I’ll show you an easy way to make your Ruger Marlin 1895 Trapper 45-70 easier to shoot more accurately.
By replacing the extra large aperture that came with the rifle with a smaller aperture from Skinner Sights, you should be able to shoot it more accurately from the bench as well as while hunting.
Thanks and Happy Hunting!

ill stick with my ole trusty marlin 336 but love what ruger did to the new rifles.
same
Got one for my 12th birthday present as a bag of rusted parts and rebuilt it. Love that rifle. Will forever stay in the family
336 is nice but I love the Guide gun
If it was made by Remington, you merely have a lever-action club.
Thanks for watching! Get some handmade in USA leather gear at my site below, I’d love to make you something!

(If there’s a random countdown timer on the webpage disregard it, I’m trying to remove it…)
I know it’s heresy but I love putting micro open emitter red dots on old school lever guns.
It's definitely not heresy
I wanna do that so badly but i have no money
😭😭😭
@@ravenblackwing7888 I got one of those Sig Sauer romeo zeros. It’s very basic and definitely not my favorite but it’s cheap and the battery life is crazy long even with it being auto on
That's not hearsay. You're stating an opinion lol. You obviously don't know what hearsay is.
@@crystalaquatica6402 Oxford- heresy: opinion profoundly at odds with what is generally accepted. So either you don’t know the definition of heresy or you thought I misspelled “hearsay” which is a completely different flub on your part.
Though I am highly proficient with iron sights, I greatly prefer a scope, in particular a two part reflex/magnifying scope.
Thanks.... I got my 45-70 for Xmas.
Ghost ring sights are not meant to print small groups on known distance target ranges. They are meant to provide the best sight picture for real world conditions at unknown ranges, allowing more light and a better view of the target. If you’re having using Ghost ring sights, I highly recommend looking up the countless videos made by BlokeontheRange and others on British army training around ghost ring aperture sights.
To sum up:
If you want to print small groups on paper. Tiny aperture sights are nice but scopes are better and why would you use a lever action for precision work when there are countless bolt action precision rifles that are less expensive than a Ruger Marlin. If you want a light handy rifle that has acceptable (2-4” groups at 150 with irons and 1-3” groups with a good scope) accuracy for real world field conditions with the power to drop dangerous predators in 1-2 shots the Ruger Marlin cannot be beat but I’d leave the ghost ring sights alone.
That's why our old M16A3 USMC had the flip rear sight apperatue, "low light" or daylight.
Absolutely correct that's like looking down a freaking hallway wow
30-6; All anyone needs. Now and arrow a real hurter.
Yeah but In low light it’s rough with a small one.
keep both eyes open🙂
@@sailingmohican2767 I’ve constantly struggled with that being left eye dominant and right handed. Total pain in the ass
@@shakeandbaked1 open both eye's its a bit of a learning process but it's more natural and your distance to target and situational awareness is way better 😉
❤I have a fond spot in my heart for 45-70. My best friend shot the grizzly bear that charging me with one.
The Stribog SP9 series comes with a lovely peep sight that looks just like the one on the right when shown side-by-side. It was my first experience with this style but it is indeed easy to use and accurate
The small looks perfect.
I sooo want one of these Marlins.
Love my marlin 30-30. Favorite rifle besides 1930s Winchester
Good factual and straight to the point. Great job.
I got the new ruger marlin 1895sbl 45-70govt and absolutely love it, I got a older marlin made guide gun in 45-70govt also and they are my favorite rifles to shoot
I got the Henry lever action 45 70 hell yeah brand new
I put skinner sights on my Marlin 1895 GBL and Henry Big Boy 44 Magnum. Not disappointed in the slightest
Love that gun looks just so slick and beautiful
Such a beautiful weapon!!
I love my Skinner sights, favourite aperture would be the second smallest aperture, but if I can I will put that one on the dovetail blank aperture holder and a size bigger in the sight, that way longer range shots you can swap it out with the smaller aperture
Nice Piece!
beautiful rifle
You severely overestimate my eyesight. 😉
Cant wait to get one
Just picked one of these up, ready to get out and shoot it when it isnt 8000 degrees
A awesome looking gun, love to own one.
Didn’t get the trapper model but got a Henry 45-70. A Marlin is definitely on the list too in the future
I have both now, and Henry's "no trigger flop" is amazing! While the Marlin has the trigger flop. Marlin - has safety mechanism Henry = none
Nice! I have 3 Henry rifles and love them. Waiting for a high grade special order carbine in .308. Love the level rifles
Try looking through the peep and take note of the blurred ring around the edge ending close to center ! Use that to find center !
Que belleza de arma amigo
I need one of these
I just got one about 3 weeks ago. Only took it to shoot once so far, but I didn't have trouble. Shot a 2 inch group at about 30 yards with it.
Thats 6 MOA
Beautiful rifle, tough to find
Just handed one of them. Ain't nothing wrong with the original aperture.
I wish I had one
Hell I just want one
I've got a tip for you guys from Australia your lucky to own any gun as for us it's off limits
I want this for home defense...who am I kidding...I want one cuz it is a great looking weapon
Most guys will blame the co and/or the gun…. Don’t try and figure out what’s really wrong…. There’s usually a very valid reason for any gun problem- ya just gotta slow down and figure it out.( I’m a figure it out guy) but thanks for the informative video- it’ll help some…
Absolutely made a difference at 100 yards great advice thank you
Glad to be of service!
For self defence work the big ring. For hunting maybe a smaller ring or more practice.
It’s good advice for an amateur, I like the video, however I’ll stick to big holes 😂
I want another marlin sold mine last year regretting it
That’s a beautiful gun. To make it more accurate, scope it.
I’ve got a Remlin 45-70, wiuld one if these peep sights work on a Marlin 45-70 XLR? And where do I get one? Tired of getting scoped.😂
Yes, the Remington made Marlins have the same scope mounting holes as the new ones, the Skinner sights will work just fine on them.
I actually removed the aperture completely. Eye naturally centers the front sight and I can see the whole target and surroundings extremely well.
I prefer a buckhorn style sight, but I don't like peep sights at all.
I didn't know they still made new rifles with peep sites.
where can I get one of these. I couldn't find any websites selling them.
I would love that in my collection it's beautiful
How do you aim a skinner? Like while you’re looking through the peep sight, do you put the top of the post in the center? How can you be sure where to put it?
Mason.
I was just wondering if you could make a short of a short run through of you entire rifle collection?
I couldn’t fit it in a short
@@masonleather I understand. Just thought it would be cool to see. Love what you do! Keep it up
Thanks dude!
I don't have one...yet 😁
Try the Buckhorn
If you don’t mind me asking what ghost ring you use to shoot that 100 yards
Hunting deer with a 45 70 what’s left after you shoot it fur antlers and hoofs ?
Yep I’ve got the problem I short but the thing in the receiving end doesn’t drop
How did you get your hands on one of those?!?!lol
Typically the peepsight is that large hole since it’s the short barrel used by Alaskan bear guides as a brush gun, so it’s a shorter barrel made for self defense and easier to maneuver in the brush 👌✌️
i cant do peep sights my vision is already screwed up a tiny hole makes it too difficult cause all i can see is the sight and cant see where im aiming regardless
I have a tip, throw the peep sight in the trash
There’s that too 🤣
That is..... when a place has one to purchase. Not an easy find.
Everything reminds me of her.
The size of the hole has a very small effect on accuracy. Best to stick with a big hole when hunting. With the smaller hole you will have a harder time picking up your game.
Ur 2nd point is fair but ur first is moot. Its like the old flip up apertures on the m16, smaller one is for long range larger one for close.
When they releasing the 357?
I just can't figure out why Ruger started with the 45-70. Why not the 30-30 or the one I was ready to buy 44 mag?
I hope they save the Marlin Rifles, but why start with this one?
Anyone?
Or use that dovetail rail and mount a red dot. The future is now! If you really want that iron sight mount the optic on a riser so you can look under as a backup.
Wait, you literally said last week that peep sights suck....
How open does a peep sight have to be before its considered a ghost ring?
I’d say it’s subjective.
Where did you find one of these trappers? Looking to purchase one for the collection
You can just google it lmao they’re EVERYWHERE 😂🙄 not hard to find one at all.
@@ResistantPig69 they are sold out where near me and no guns shop getting anymore. Only place that has them in stock is gun broker and your over paying. Lmk if you have a link to the trapper
I have tech sights on my izhmash ak. The aperture that came with it is like shotgun ghost rings. Swap em out and boom gtg
That’s not the rifle being inaccurate that’s you being inaccurate
Practice with it the large peep you can get better distance and better short running shots I'm just as accurate with the large then the small on all rifles I have a skinner on
Look man, I've never fired a peephole sight, but wouldn't it be, just, harder to aim with that than a "modern" tri site or m4 peephole sight?
If I bought a similar rifle, I'd probably buy a Henry
I hate aperture sites, I would rather just the sticks
How big are the deer where you live that you need a gun that big. Lol
There are states where you can only use straight wall cartridges. Your 270s and 30-06 arnt legal for hunting. Need a 45-70 or a 350legend or something. Just incase you miss and hit the next town over.
@Jr. Bacon Cheese Overall how do you like your 45-70
@jerrywoodard3084 wish I had one man! Hard to come by! seems like marlin and Henry make 7 rifles a year.
Man shooting a deer with 45-70? You might blow that thing to pieces ahah. I’m just playin but dam I thought 45-70 is more like bear and bison/ giant stuff. I have a 30-30 I use for deer
Deer hunting with A 45-70?! Bazookas work too I guess.
Nice rifle BUT consider the CZ550
.458 Lott or Winchester caliber for
Charging 🐘 elephants to angry bears 🌿🐻🌿.....
The 9.3’s, .35 Whelen or .375 H&H are all you need for the big bears and moose
@@G19Jeeper The old timers get the job done well...
I’d just be happy to have that $1700.00 rifle. At least that’s what it cost down here in FL
You got bit, good news, my bro.
Where the hell you find a new marlin?!
Of course you might want to learn how to shoot worth sh*f. That always helps!
Absolutely, the sights to NOT increase the accuracy of the rifle. it might ,make your ability to shoot better, but accuracy of that rifle will be exactly the same
Not a target gun, it's a hunting gun and the wide open rear peep allows you see the game well, even in low light. As long as the front is in the middle, it still a very accurate system. If you wanted a target gun, that is what you should have bought.
I’ll use it how I want. And as long as you can still see through it a smaller peep makes it more capably accurate, 100% every time. This whole “ghost rings are accurate sights” is ludicrous, if so why do silhouette shooters use micro peeps.
@@masonleather You're right, it's your gun and you can use it as you like, but you can't make up reasoning. Silhouette shooters are target shooters - and those that use 45-70s (6-800 yds) for that purpose use small peeps, they also use shooting sticks. A lever action guide gun is a hunting rifle regardless of what you want it to be. Use it for a target gun if you want, but that's not it's design. Admittedly, it's a nice gun, I'll sure give you that.
Isn't a .45-70 for deer ... excessive?
The Waffle House has found a new host.
The waffle house has found it's new host
Or you might be able to flip it around
I wonder if you can rebore that into a 444.
In my dreams… ya need a bank loan to buy one.
Put a red dot on it
There is no way I would ever hunt a deer with irons. Put a scope on that thing dude
Hey man, I only ever shot with airsoft rifles and that's bout it, so no recoil and bullet drop, I used the iron sights and I couldn't see much because the aperture was so small, how can you see and shoot accurately through such a small hole?
I don't know? just understand how to use a peep sight?
Rocking it Bedrock style with a peep sight or pony up for a decent scope. If you have enough money to buy the rifle. You have enough for a decent sight. Just saying.
Not the point.
@@masonleather True. It’s a good video. Enjoyed it. Happy New Year!
Scope
I never shot a gun, kinda want too but guns are illegal in my country, I'd move to the US but that would take a couple of decades youknow.
I always thought sights were big circles, I'm surprised the holes are so tiny, I've never seen a real gun's like up close
my advice is stick with the large and learn to use both eyes while shooting closing n.dominant eye is never good when using non glassed
Especially when you can't hit the broad side of a barn
I need one
