Bought a Winchester Miroku 1873 recently. Sights are a bit tricky with my astigmatism. Thinking of putting the Marbles tang sight on it.  Anyone with experience with the sight? How much does the sight interfere with putting my thumb over the top of the stock?

I have the Marbles tang peep on my 1894.  Vast improvement over the standard buckhorn rear.

America is at that awkward stage, it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards....Claire Wolfe

Thanks. Do you find you can still wrap your thumb around the top of the stock?

Yes, even though I normally rest my thumb on the right side of the rifle, when I overlap my thumb on the stock wrist, my thumb rests right behind the peep. My hands are medium size.

I have one on my 1873. Love it! I don't wrap my thumb though.

Just an FYI, the MVA tang sight for the 1886 Winchester has the same screw spacing as the 1873 Miroku.

Thanks.  I checked them out.  Seems a bit expensive compared to the Marbles.

Turnbull wasn't very busy during Covid so I sent it in for the CCH and safety delets. The price was right too.
