If your parents didn't have any children chances are you won't either.

Hello Dave: XS has a base that mounts on the top of the receiver and bridges the bolt on the 71 and 86. You'll have to drill and tap the receiver just behind the locking bolts, but it's a relatively straightforward job--looks good and functions well.

Lyman 66 designed for the 1886. Works great.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

+++1 for the Williams. Blends well with the rifles appearance and very durable to boot.

There is a company that offers a true bolt peep sight for the 87/71 I do not have its name off the top of my head but will work at getting it or call the shop and we can get it to you. 585-657-6338


I tend to use more than enough gun.

This is pretty close to what DManson is talking about, we had to build up a higher bridge because I use NECG front barrel bands.
