At one time someone made a scope base which incorporated a flip-up aperture sight. My Grandfather had one installed on a Winchester Model 70. I thought that was pretty slick, but have no idea who made it.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hi Mark, The 358W was not a very popular cartridge in Alaska. It was the first gun the customer got as a youngster. He wanted to restock it but kept the 358W loading. Good deer gun in Alaska. I changed the bottom metal, added barrel band front sight, added barrel band swivel, plugged the two screw holes on the side of the rear bridge, plugged the rear action screw hole on the tang. I mounted quick detach scope mounts and made a peep sight that mounted to the rear scope base when the scope was removed. So the peep sight was quick detach like the scope. The bolt release was flared and checkered. The rear swivel was a two screw inletted into the stock. The wood was a plain sawed English Walnut blank that was given to me by a wood guy in California. I bought six stock blanks and he threw this one in for a bonus. It was a really nice piece of walnut. In the photo you can see the rear tang doesn't have a hole in it. I wanted to contour the rear tang but the customer wanted to leave it stock. Frank Image below from FrankWhiton - Image Title: photos Image Info: This is a gun I built for a fellow in Fairbants,Ak. It is built on a Pre-64 Mod 70 and chambered in 358 Winchester.  |
