what size is the rear sight on a model 70 safari express in 375 H&H?

From the NECG website>>>>

This sight features the same quality constuction as our Masterpiece Fully Adjustable Rear Sight, the main difference between the two being that the windage adjustment on the Classic Adjustable Rear Sight is accomplished by pushing the sight sideways and then tightening it in place with its built-in clamp. It comes provided with a 6-48 fastening screw and Allen wrench. The sight blade is a shallow V with U-notch. Overall length is 2.170", width is .550" and height in lowest position is .55" with an upward adjustment of .60". This sight is available in the same four barrel diameters as the Masterpiece Fully Adjustable Rear Sight. Please be sure to specify barrel diameter when ordering.

the right barrel diameter is what i need. i damaged the sight and need to replace it. it is a model 70 classic safari express in 375 H&H.

jstltrs,

I believe the size you want is the 'XL' (extra large) which is for .830" to .930" diameter barrels. If you have a caliper you can check the barrel diameter at the location of the sight.

Headache

Just call NECG, they should know.

Call brownells and order the Winchester part. It is the NECG sight of the correct Winchester size. I bought 3 of them from Brownells for my Model 70's. It doesn't show the correct part on the website so you might call them to make sure.

Here's a pic of the one I put on my Stainless 375 H&H:

I think that's the one you were wanting................DJ

Minor thread hijack:

dj, what model stock is that? Does it have any cast off and/or toe out?

Thanks,

LD, It's a McMillan Griffin and Howe for a Winchester Magnum barrel contour. I don't think that it has any Cast On or Off but I'll double check it when I get back home this weekend....................DJ
