Posted this in the "Gunsmithing" room and the first answer led me to ask here. Is this correct? Not doubting him, just I am clueless. smile

Im not a Winchester expert, but Winchester was my guess when looking at your photos before other member made his post.

Easy answer:

Winchester 70B rollover rear sight. Produced from 1953 to 1963 and intended for use on the 375 H&H... Hope this helps.. wink


Mr. Mike from PA was partially right.... I won't hold it against him since he's from PA. Those guys are known for that.. whistle

Well let me tell you. I thought it was later in production; I knew it was the last variation. Now for the killer, I thought my 375 was later as well. I forgot it is a 1953! Yes 1953-1963.

I need one I think? Either a 70b or a 6W.

My gun has 1-1/4" approx space between holes and I'd like to put the express on the gun for Africa.

Contact if you will part with it or if you can at least confirm spacing.
