Both the buckhorn rear sight, with stepped elevator, and front brass bead sight are dovetailed into the octagonal barrel. As is typical with buckhorn sights, accuracy may suffer with some shooters, but the generously open sight picture is a significant advantage over some other open sights. Fortunately, if better accuracy is desired Brownells offers an Improved Peep Tang Sight from Marble Arms that fits a Winchester ’92 with a tang safety.

The smooth action and light recoil helped us continuously keep the rifle on the shoulder during rapid fire and send fairly accurate shots downrange. A number of different loads were fired through the gun, and all cycled with no problems.

The new Winchester 1892 Deluxe Takedown incorporates high quality, classic design and modern safety features that are sure to please Winchester enthusiasts, collectors, hunters and Cowboy Action shooters.
