Thank you very much--I've put skinners on a couple of other lever guns--so I know about raising the front height (around .5 +/- I'm guessing?) I really like the looks of the smith enterprises ladder sight, I just don't like the idea it comes without windage adjustment (other than "drift ping pong")--and I like the idea of lobbing those Hail Marys way past 100 yds. : )
