Who makes the copy of the Winchester model 70 African 458 rear sight?

Jim Wisner.

I don't think he carries it any more. I would really like to have a couple myself.

Weatherby Custom Shop is using a copy of it on their Dangerous Game and Safari rifles:

He made a run a few months ago and posted them in the Classifieds here.

Believe it or not I just looked at his site and it is listed as part #458RS under Custom Parts with a price of $104. I ordered one immediately in case I was imagining it. I think it's the best dangerous game rifle rear ever designed, sturdy yet adjustable.

I couldn't find the part number on the sight, but I called and they had it so I ordered one.
Thanks to all.

It is, as expected, a beautifully made piece. I just had one put on my New Haven 416 Rem along with his banded front sight. Top notch stuff.

I believe Wisner's makes them for Weatherby and only has them listed when he does a run for them, he makes a few extras.

I saw that post he put in the classifieds a few months back, but couldn't remember the brand name and couldn't locate the post.
I have a post 64 Win Mod 70, with the controlled round feed, in 375 H&H I want to put it on.
