I need suggestions for a tang-mounted sight peep sight for my Browning Model 92. It has a semi-buckhorn rear and a small post front and I don't think those sights will do the job at 100 yards. I guess there's a way to put a side-mount scope on it, but I think that's missing the whole point of a rifle like this.

Any help appreciated,

Crash

In my younger days when my eyes were good I would have trusted a buckhorn sight at 100 yards on a deer or hog size target. I use scopes nowadays. Marbles makes a tang sight for the B92. They run from $98 to $135 I don't know if Lyman or Williams make a tang sight for the B92, but Marbles does.

Crash, I forgot to ask if your B92 has a tang safety. You will need to order the correct tang sight depending of your model. The link I posted is for a tang safety B92. Here's the standard.

Thanks to everybody for their help. Apparently the Marbles tang sight is the way to go. Unfortunately I would have to drill and tap the tang for the second screw and I wouldn't trust myself to do that without screwing (no pun intended) things up. So, if I do it, I'll have to go to a gunsmith for that.

I have the Rossi 92 clone that had similar sights. I replaced the rear sight with a rail which allowed me to put a cheap red dot on the barrel. The rail also has a channel down the middle, so it acts like a rear sight when nothing is mounted on it.
