Xs Sight Systems Lever Rail Ghost Ring Ws - Marlin 308Mx

The XS Sight Systems Lever Rail Ghost Ring WS is a receiver-mounted backup sight system built to transform your Marlin rifle into a versatile platform that accepts modern optics while keeping traditional iron sights in the fight. Designed specifically for the Marlin 308MX, this all-steel ghost ring rear sight pairs with an XS White Stripe front sight to give you fast, reliable target acquisition whether you're hunting, running drills at the range, or just want insurance against electronic failure. The system replaces your factory rear sight and mounts directly to the receiver via a lightweight anodized aluminum Picatinny rail machined to spec.

What makes this setup genuinely useful is the flexibility it offers. The Picatinny rail lets you mount a scope directly over the receiver, run a scout scope forward on the rail, or bolt on a red dot for speed shooting—all without sacrificing your iron sights. The ghost ring itself is fully adjustable for windage and elevation, and ships with two interchangeable apertures (.230" and .191" inside diameter) so you can dial in your sight picture for bright sun, shade, or low light. The large ghost ring opening promotes a natural, wide field of view that speeds up target transitions when you need it most. Up front, the XS White Stripe features a blued steel body with a painted white stripe face and a white-on-black post that cuts through glare and stands out cleanly against any backdrop.

Installation is straightforward—you'll remove the factory rear sight, secure the rail to the receiver, and install the new front sight. All screws torque to 20 inch-pounds; don't over-torque or you risk breaking them. One heads-up: moving the rear sight from barrel to receiver means you'll need to re-zero your rifle, and alternate front sight heights are available if your preferred sight picture needs adjustment. This system does not fit Marlin rifles with octagon barrels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sight rail work with my scope and still let me keep backup irons?

Yes. The Picatinny rail lets you mount a scope directly over the receiver or position it forward for a scout-style setup. The ghost ring rear sight and XS White Stripe front sight stay in place as backup iron sights, so you get the best of both worlds.

What front sight heights are available?

The XS White Stripe comes as described, but XS offers alternate front sight heights. Contact us or XS Sights directly if your zero requires a different height after installation.

Does installation require gunsmithing?

No, but you will need to remove your factory rear sight and securely mount the rail to your receiver. You'll also need to re-zero your rifle since the rear sight moves from the barrel to the receiver. All screws torque to 20 inch-pounds—do not over-torque, as you risk breaking them.

Does this fit my octagon-barrel Marlin?

No. This system does not fit Marlin rifles with octagon barrels. Confirm your rifle has a round receiver before ordering.
