I like how low the Skinners mount. The XS, in addition to not being threaded for an aperture, sits quite high due to the nature of the elevation and windage adjustments. The Williams Guide sits a bit high as well, and won't work with the original front sight - you need a taller one. It does, however, work for my face and the drop on the Marling stock. The issue opens were too low, as was the Skinner. The Skinners work to perfection on my #1's, though. Everything else is too tall and too far forward, sitting on the quarter rib as they do.
It's nice to have choices. As little as, say, 20 years ago, the only game in town were the side mounted Lymans and Williams. They always look like an afterthought and just ruin the lines of a nice rifle. We are living in the best of times, with regards to available iron sights.
So, is her front sight a Skinner as well? It looks like it's all brass. Is the side you see serrated or anything?
