Bolt Mounted Peep

Wisner's should have some soon made up and possibly available at the ACGG show in Reno. Otherwise, go to NitroExpress.com or Accurate Reloading site and do a search for Rusty as he's now making a few. Expect to pay at least $300. ~Arctic~
I think a number of folks would like one of these- I was thinking the same for a 9.3x57 Husky I got recently. I came across a thread on the Nitro Express forum (http://forums.nitroexpress.com/show...ing+piece+sights&topic=&Search=true#Post85464
that mentions the one made by "Rusty Marlin" (who posts on that forum) as well as one by Gottfried Prechtl in Germany.
They're not cheap, though!
StuartI have the same problem! And of course the old Lyman ones are long gone as factory-supplied iron sights are largely out of favour these days.
There is a very damning article on this subject on the African Hunter website (/www.african-hunter.com/lessons_learned.htm), although this is slanted towards dangerous game rifles for PH's.
StuartJust like the swing-away ones for the old Mannlicher-Schönauer rifles and these little beauties for Husqvarnas:

No,no, they actually dovetailed right into the back of the bolt and when you racked another shell the sight would stay with the bolt as it slid back and forth.
I've got a pic of one around here somewhere, Doug used to have one that was installed on the back of an old Savage model 1920 he used to have.

Found it.
Bubba really did a work out on this poor bugger but you can still make out the dovetail in the middle of the nice brazing job.
You can see it's a Lyman 3rd variation as it has the locking mechanism on the side of the sight.

Blimey- did he ever. But as long as it works.
(BTW, I didn't intend to imply that the M-S sights were like the Lyman ones, just that they, too, have gone the way of the dodo.)

Ahhh....... the Mauser gods are up late in Sechelt tonight, tantalizing us with pics of rocking horse poo (ie to be drooled over but rarely acquired.)You mean like this?
Very nice indeed, and a colour case-hardened bolt as well.

The one that I have has a little cap, which is attached to the cocking piece with two little screws. The cocking piece itself is not dovetailed. Acquired it still in the box. It is the only one I have ever seen for sale.
I have one of the swing arm sights on my M-S. These too are not common.

None that I can see, if anything I'd say it would be more likely to throw off your zero on the bolt cause if you rack the action the sight will be thrown back, stopped sharp and then thrown forward again.
