Good afternoon all – been gone for awhile but finally slowing down and able to focus on some of the fun stuff! Anyone know of a smith who installs the winchester 98 bolt peep sights? Or point me in the right direction of some schematics with measurements to mill the bolt on a model 65 (browning reproduction – would never alter an original). Thanks, Bill

Do you have one already, or looking for one? Here’s one on ebay, if you have money to burn: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154997610227?_trksid=p11021.c100851.m5053&_trkparms=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F154997610227%3F_trkparms%3Damclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20170803121420%26meid%3D63510f832e12403591dba3c1483c5b85%26pid%3D100851%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26b%3D1%26sd%3D165485110256%26itm%3D154997610227%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D11021%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic%26brand%3DWinchester&_trksid=p11021.c100851.m5053&mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m5053.l9430&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=df629182cb6a4d26b1d4f6f9824bd162&bu=43185806222&ut=RU&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20220517080618&segname=11021&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cut%3Dut%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

Thanks Clarence for the reference. I do have one – just looking for a gunsmith who can mill my bolt and mount it. Harder than I imagined – most smiths are not familiar with the sight – I understand as it is old. Thanks, Bill

Might be cheaper/easier to look for a milled bolt. There is a milled bolt for a 71 on ebay right now. What rifle model are you trying to fit the sight to?
Or, just sell the sight to me
, I have a 71 with a milled bolt but no sight…

The 98C bolt peep sight was made exclusively for the Model 65 rifles in the 218 Bee caliber. For a Model 71, you need a 98A bolt peep sight.
