What I had been trying to figure out is a way to either adapt a side mount for a Winchester 1892 or 1894 to the B92. I was thinking I could get an aluminum side mount. TIG weld over the holes and redrill holes to match the existing holes in the receiver. Use enlongated screws and avoid any drilling and tapping. If I can't use a Winchester side mount then get a machinist to build a suitable copy adapted to the B92. Using either my 2x7 Leupold or an even lighter Leupold compact (wieght 8-11 ounces) shouldn't affect the handling that much.

Now I have to admit I've never shot a tang sight or peep sight. (other than on my AR which I don't like) If I can find someone here near Houston perhaps I can give it a try. I belong to the Texas Hunting Forum so I can post there to see if anyone has one.

But still if I can adapt or make a side mount without drilling and tapping the thought intrigues me.
