I have a 1953 in 375H&H with a missing rear sight. Hole spacing is 1.75″. Did Winchester ever make a rear sight with this hole spacing?

Is it possible that it was fitted with the “African Sight?” I really don’t know what the hole spacing for that sight was.

Update: Not meant for an African sight which has 2.175″ hole spacing.

The 375 spacing was 1.240″ C-C would be the correct spacing for a 1953 rifle. Straight taper 375’s had a 1.760″ C-C spacing for the 2 holes on top of barrel. These never had sights mounted in the holes. These barrels were the same dimensions as the heavy target barrel used on the target model, which had a telescope mounting base attached in those particular holes. The straight taper 375’s that I own both have 22G sights in a dovetail behind the 2 holes. This barrel would not have been used on a 53 rifle, they were all pre wars.
