I will not be at EOT but would like a stainless one.
Thanks

I have 5" barrels and really like the balance of the gun with them.

Are these out of stock?

Is there a certain type of umbrella they fit?

This is my third year to attend and it was the best one yet. I can say they listened to what the shooters wanted and made changes. It was a great match.

Got mine done by Slater and absolutely love it.

Very sorry to hear of his passing. I was fortunate to be on a posse with him at Texas State. RIP

So Target Sports is a legit business to buy from?
-
It think having the ability to move the event would be a great thing for our sport. I feel as though it would give other shooters a chance to experience this great event that might not be able to due to many factors.

I just ordered one this week to try. I can update on fitment when it arrives.

Does anyone have Snake Oil George's contact info?

I thought the match was great and will definitely plan to attend next year. I have heard lots of negative feedback about things from past shoots but it seems they have taken steps to address those issues. The senarios were simple and the target placement we great.

Remove the sight.
Take your calipers and measure from top of sight to the bottom of the dovetail. That's the height needed.
Looks like that sight is all brass from your other pictures.

Not sure what it's made of but not brass and is very brittle

Sure looks like a MIM (sintered metal) base AND sight insert. I'd replace at least that broken insert with something more solid, like a short dovetailed bar stock sight from Marbles that should last (until the base breaks).
Dovetail sights are "sized" by the length of the base flat of the dovetail, and the total height from the flat of the dovetail up to top of sight. So, if you can pull a pair of calipers or a micrometer out, and find those two dimensions, you can look for just the sight insert and replace it for maybe $15 or so. Brownells or Midway would be where I'd look once you have made the measurements.
Probably broke because it was in a soft case, and got a good hit during your trip. A sturdy plastic or aluminum case with good foam will prevent a lot of damage during road trips.
Good luck, GJ
Thank you, I will look into a hard case.

Here is a picture of the sight after gluing it back on. I think it it taller than most of the sights.

It will be a standard 3/8" dovetail so there are many available. Probably want one .340 wide that's made to fit in a base. They come in assorted heights. Here is an example.
I was told these newer Marlins made by Remington use a different sight.

How did that happen?

Not really sure what happened. I went out of town for a shooting school and when I got there and took it out of the soft case it was broken.
