Gents:

I know some folks build scope bases. Would it be any trick to design one with a ZKK-ish integral pop up peep sight which would be adjusted for the user? and yes, I am aware NECG makes some that can be stored and installed quickly.

Kimber of Oregon did and Jim Brockman in Idaho does make such a rig, I have a few mounted on divers P-64 Mod. 70s.....never had to use one, tho'.

I have seen pix of custom bases such as you want, Bollinger is one name that comes to mind.

It is a very good idea and would be most useful on serious working/hunting rifles in remote and rugged regions, such as much of northern and western Canada; however, the influence on rifle design by "dudes" such as JO'C and Weatherby is still very strong and the cost factor is an issue, as well.

My bud and I do a lot of different things to get a "ghost and post" on QD mounts for our various rifles. It's a real pita, but, worth the aggro if you pack only one rifle into a remote camp or backpack hunt.

would be a great idea for an enfield with "duck pond

BSA on their converted P'14 rifles marketed in 33 BSA and 26 BSA actually DID have not one but two flip-up peep sights in the "duck pond" on their rifles.

However I expect that it was too costly to keep the idea on for the later P'14 conversions that they made under the Model E and Model D designation.

Probably the easiest solution is an old Redfield base with the fold-down peepsight?

The folding peep on the Redfield base can be installed on other bases, D&T two holes.

Is there a reliable source for such animal? Seems like they're not too plentiful.

Ebay. I have already stockpiled a few.

Guys

I have installed Williams shotgun peeps on the rear of Leupold bases just behind the rear mount. I read this and it seems much easier. I looked on Gun Parts Corp site, and they have the peep part with screws new for $8.95. I ordered 10, and they are on the way. Might be wise to stock up.

Here's a link to the part

The description says supply is limited, but no indication of how many.
