Well, the story behind the sight is this. The slide is from
a Redfield Model 100 sight, I got the slide in a parts grouping.
I machined the base, copying it from a Marble-Goss sight
with appropriate modifications to accommodate the different slide.
The base replaces the magazine cutoff, and there is a small lever
that serves as a bolt release. Here is a picture of the sight
on the action, before the bolt release was made.
The sight did not require any removal of wood from the stock. I liked the inletting, the Wundhammer swell and the cast-off so much
that I wanted to do as little to the stock as possible to honor
the person who made it.
