Well this is one of those cases where you know that you know something and just can't get it into words. I'm sure that the wealth of knowledge in this forum can help me out. Anyone know the pedigree of this sight? Or better yet where I could get the receiver mount? The only marking on it is "Precision" over the attaching screw.

Thanks in advance.

It looks similar to a mount I've seen for the Remington M37.

The mounting looks similar to the one on a Redfield Olympic model sight. I think Brownells carries a few of the sight bases.

My best guess would be to check with some of the target rifle gunsmiths.

Hi there, The picture seems to show some screw heads that could only be there
to hold parts of the sight together. Can you confirm?
If so ,I may have an answer, but I'll have to go to my junk box to check.

In the view of the vertical adj. scale. is there not two screw holes at the top and to the left of the adjustment knob?

As I'm NOT a collector or expert, I can only guess, using my experience and the clues offered.
What I perceive to be screw holes in a place adjacent to the top edge of the vertical adjustment framework, bears a remarkable resemblance to a sight I have IMP. Mine is designed for an old Win. target rifle, so its general configuration can not be expected to look like yours. It is an Armstrong.

I'd bet that a call to Brownell's will find you the right person to talk to, then sending (e-mail) that person the photos you've posted here will get you the answer you need.

The pics aren't clear enough to see all the detail but the overall design looks very similar to a "Paramount Target Receiver Sight" by OK Weber Inc., Eugene OR. ca early 1990s???

Thanks all. Pepe Ray - you're correct they are screws holding the sight together.
