Thanks guys, I made up my mind, going to order the fiber optics cloverleaf rpp. Talked to someone up there today and they said probably 95% of people order the cloverleaf over traditional so going to give it a go. As for the front sight , I like the rpp fiber optic but think I may try the factory gold bead that I have now first. Maybe a orange paint pen for the gold bead? Also going to put the dove tail filler where my old rear sight is. Does anybody have any suggestions or tricks on installing the rear sight or Dove tail filler? Another question I was worried about is what will these upgrades do to the value of my gun? Being that it will not be all original , will it deplete the value quite a bit? This forum is great by the way, thanks for all the help!
Did RPP says if the rear barrel sight has to be removed? Will if be in the way if let on? I am about to go with this same set up up on a Marlin 336 .35 (1969) and a Marlin 39A .22 (1979).
