Does anyone have a complete bolt peep sight for a WInchester Model 65? I'd be interested in either buying or trading.

No, but new ones are being made by a gentleman in, I believe, Montana. He has an ad under Metallic Sights in Gun List. Be prepared, they are $185-195 plus installation.

Thanks Blackhawk, I'm trying to avoid paying that much for a rear sight on a gun I may not use too much. I may end up going with a Marbles tang sight, but those Winchesters look damn good with that bolt peep.

That's just what I did on my '95 Browning. I do have to say that the bolt peep would be much less in the way and less fragile. For Marbles, check AMBACK.COM for the best prices.

Found it! It doesn't hurt to ask: Winchester bolt peeps-original specs-M64-71-86/M65-92/1895 $195 Frontier Americana, Box 887, Fargo, ND 58107. Installation? 701-241-4440. Actually, since folks have started to collect sights, this probably isn't that much. I imagine that the cost of a clean orginal will likely scare you too, if you ever find one. From what I've seen folks give for some sights, I know it would me.
