Thanks for the info, now I know what to look for.

I think you will have to cut the stock and D&T to use that one.

Which style if 23C do have...early or late (what is the serial range?). I don't think any of the 23 center fires were D&T'ed for a receiver sight. They were set up for the rimfire target peep sight. The two different sized holes on the top rear are for the Savage #5 or #10. If there are three holes you can use the #15. You will probably need a higher front sight, also.

Not sure if it is an early or late 23 as I won't be picking it up till tomorrow. I do know that it has been cut and D&T'd for a receiver sight.

The 23's have a safety indicator on the left side of the stock where the receiver sight attaches. The location of the mounting holes might help to identify what sight it was D&T'ed for.

Thanks I'll try to post a pic. next week.

Here is a pic. of where the old sight was mounted. SN# is418XX

I used to have a 23B cut in the same place for a reciever sight.

The sight you want is a 42SS by Lyman.


There might actually be one on a certain auction site right now but I won't post live auctions, good luck.

MD nailed it.

Thanks for the info.Cast some bullets for it last night, hope to get it shooting soon.
