Sorry this sight will no longer let me post pics for some reason, but would be happy too other wise.

Tom,

As a bona fide WACA member, there is no reason why you cannot post pictures. That stated, you must verify that you are attempting to upload .jpg files versus a .heic file. Many of the new (modern) cell phones and digital camera automatically (default) save all pictures as a ".heic" files unless you change the setting on your camera.

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!

Defiantly can't say that! But I have bought some very nice 86's for that including a deluxe 33 from 1902 and a semi deluxe ELW. And for Mr. Ellison's sake an antique 86 in 45-90 with an extra heavy 30" barrel and X wood. Yes it letters. Sorry this sight will no longer let me post pics for some reason, but would be happy too other wise.

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.

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.
