New England Custom Guns sells one for, I think, around $90. I have one on a .375 H&H #1, and it looks & works great. It just clamps on the ramp like the rings do.

I've got the NECG sight on my #1 RSI, 7x57. It works well but you may have to order a different height front sight. My #1 came with a .375" front sight and with the NECG I had to use a .415" front. It's okay, though because I ordered the NECG front with the white dot and like it much better than the original.

Have a Williams on my 45/70 #1. Very nice with a peep sight. But the reciever was drilled to mount the Williams. That NECG looks like it fits in place of a scope mount. Haven't used one myself, but it looks like the way to go. A little less obtrusive than the Williams sticking out the side where it mounts.
