Hello, I was just able to win a bid on a real nice Winchester 70 Mannlicher. The gun is missing the open sights. Do any of you have any knowledge or could point me in the correct direction to get a set of correct open sights for this rifle? Thanks.

They have the same style of open sights that all of that era's Winchester 70s had between 1968 and 1972. Gunpartscorp or Jack First might have them.

Do you know if they originally came with a front sight hood as well?

Yes, they came with a front sight hood. At one time, I had 3 complete sets of those rifles, including one set that was NIB.

I finally jumped on a real nice one off GB today. Just need to find the sights. So far I am striking out. Thank you for your help.

I rarely sell my Winchester parts but I am a sucker for Mannlicher's and would help you out just to get it back to original. At one time, I had 3 complete sets of those rifles, including one set that was NIB. You Sir are a STUD and my new hero! Someday I will own ONE of these.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

I have been digging and have sent several emails. Waiting to hear back from a couple yet but as of now no luck. I’ll get with you in a week or two if I can not dig a set up. Thank you for your kindness and offer.
