Let me see if I have a set in my box of goodies. Should have a set there. If I do I will send you a PM for your address, you can have 'em for free.

Thanks for the kind offer, CAFR. The 788 is chambered in .22-250 and has a semi bull barrel on it. From the way my brother talks it seems to shoot 50 grainers the best. I would say the gun is probably in about 90% condition. The story behind the sights going missing is that he wanted to put on a scope with a bigger objective so one day when looking around the local gunshop he found a used scope for sale that had a 50mm objective, long story short the gunshop guy offered to mount the scope and boresight it for him and when it came back the sights were gone. So he called the guy and asked him about the sights he said oh I put them in the gun case with your gun, they were not there so here we are trying to find a set of sights. because he wants to be able to keep the gun original.
