Looks like an old Redfield folding peep; I've used these for years on non-DGRs and they work splendidly, however sometimes they fold down unexpectedly...Regards, Joe

What J.D.Steele said. Alternatives would be New England Firearms peep on Weaver bases or the much smaller peep made by Talley to fit Talley mounts. But neither of those fits on the mount with the scope in place.

If you're putting this on a M70, look at Jim Brockman's 'Pop-up Peep'. It integrates into the rear base and pops up when the scope is removed (QR-type bases, of course).

IIRC correctly Warne once made a rear scope base with an adjustable aperture built in, but it required medium rings. Since then I've wondered, depending on the height of the rings above the rear base if a fella might install a (semi)fixed rear aperture that need not pop-up and make his sight adjustments at the front sight?
I've used a Talley peep on Kimber bases with no problems; the windage is a little off to one side but was easily within ajustment parameters. Actually looked pretty cool and worked well but I didn't install his cute little screw-in eyepiece, it made the aperture too small for me. Regards, Joe

Warne did make these, I have one on a Browning BLR, another on a 700 and a third waiting for the right Mauser to be built.
