It might be a bit high, but remember half round, half octagon with full mag on a standard sporting rifle in not at all a common feature. Everyone likes a .45-90.

Thanks Adam for the recommendation but I emailed him and he replied that he does not have, nor know, of one.

Rough. At $4650, priced at two to three times what it’s worth.

Ian, I concur. The internet has made every one think they have something special. I would be embarrassed to tell what 4600 has gotten me.

You’re joking. Don’t tell me you purchased that wonderful carbine Birthday treat firearm for just that—$4600!

Try this place. I’ve used them several times. Wonderful service. The easiest way is just call the phone number and ask.

Zebulon on WTB Redfield 80 W Sight for '48 M70 375 H&H

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 20:25:22 +0000

I disremember why a Lyman 48 WJS-H would mot work for you. They are less common than the T version but -- as with the Redfield, the knobs can be swapped. If you have a 48 WJS-T, look for a trashed Lyman with Hunter knobs. I don't think the code would matter. If the knobs are the ones you want, look for a 48 with an unpopular code.

When you remove a knob be careful not to lose the tiny ball bearing that serves as a detent.

The knobs are more easily swapped from target to hunter on the Redfield 70 W, the more finely made predecessor of the 80. The 70 knobs are held on with screws while the 80 knobs are held on with pins.

If you are not scoping the rifle, the lack of a quick release button on the 70 is irrelevant.

If you can find a good 70T, buy it and look for a junker 70H on eBay and swap knobs.

If you can manage to remove and reinstall tiny pins, the same technique will work with the 80.

Bump... still looking. I really need the hunter version if possible. I worry the knobs on the target version could be accidently moved while hunting. Thanks!
