I have seen quite a few custom rifles with a copy of the rear sight found on the pre 64 Winchesters in 458. The sight has a knurled wheel to adjust for elevation. Does anyone know who make them?

I have gotten several of them from Wisner, but Jim seems to be phasing out of some of this. Maybe he still has some in stock???

The Weatherby Mark V DG has the same sight on its barrel. I wonder if Weatherby would sell some if Wisner doesn't have any in stock???

All the ones I have are soldered and screwed onto my barrels, so, sorry I can't help.

It is an excellent sight, my favorite too, the old Winchester African.
