You could redrill your base for the 8-40 screw the above sights use. Beyond that you get into limited production custom sights like the Zelenak. Bring $$$.

You have lots of optiions, you just may not like the price.
First the Lyman and Williams sights will work but you will have to accept limited windage adjustment. The sight mount plate it massive like all things M12 and the above sights sure could use another 1/4" of travel in windage. If you could find a Redfield to Anschutz mount Gehmann makes an excellent compact sight for $150. It's the mount thats the challenge here. REG (www.wssg.net) PNW, Centra, (www.champchoice.com) Warner Tool (www.warner-tool.com) all have sights that will do the job to perfection, at a price. REG once offered an E1 sight for $200 but doesn't list it anymore. OK, now for a bit of perspective. Even the most expensive of these sights fall within the mid-price range of riflescopes. There's a lot of $700+ riflescopes out there and somebody's buying them. Good sights are a good investment. Here's another option. Leatherwood (www.leatherwoodoptics.com) makes 2 scopes which will fit the Unertl style scope blocks. One is 3X and is about 17" long. MidwayUSA is asking $259. Also there's a 6X that's 18" and goes for $279. Leatherwood is also going to market a repro Unertl 8X called the USMC Sniper. Should be on the market in a few months and sell for $579. Welcome to the world of fine target rifles. It could be worse. I have a Remington Model 37 and magazines for this rifle, when they can be found, can reach $200. Buddy, buddy, buddy. ![]() ![]()

That's why I say wait for the USMC Sniper scope; buy once and get what works the first time. |

If you buy quality gear you only pay for it once. If you buy junk you pay for it every time you (try to) use it. |
