No, I did not have a problem with the tang sight interfering with taking a grip on the rifle., even though Winchester's lawyers had made Winchester put a tang mounted safety on the d*nm gun, at least when the sight was up in the firing position.
On my Marlin 39A I have a Williams receiver peep sight that I really like. In the case of the Marlin it was a no gunsmith add on, just remove a few screws and add on the sight. I'll be honest and say that the receiver sight is the way I'd go. I've nothing against the tang sights, I've got them on a number of rifles, but I really like the receiver sight.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."
