Not all .22cal RB's were created equal - The correct tang sight would depend upon which model RB .22 you have (#2 RB, #4 RB, #6, etc, etc).

Here's one for a No.6: http://www.rollingblockparts.com/sights.html

If you have a #4, try to source (E-Bay, etc) a vintage Lyman #2 code "U" tang sight or a Marbles R3 (code), so marked on the base underside(s).

Taylor & Co (google) carried some tang sights with shorter staffs than sights for larger CF rifles, but IDK if they still do so.

In any event, you would need to measure the C-to-C distance of the factory tang sight mounting holes in your RB - not so important if your RB's tang has no tang sight prep holes.

I actually stumbled across an old/unknown ladder-type tang sight at a funshow parts vendor, which happily fit my #4 Remington RB - so you can toe your rifle around a few shows, to see what's available there.

not sure what model it is. but the c-to-c distance of the mounting holes is 1 and 15/16. how do you tell the model

google 22 Remington rolling block. pick the one that looks like yours.

If you are not stuck on keeping the rifle period original, I'd give MVA a call (Montana Vintage Arms) and get a schuetzen staff tang sight. Tell them your C to C distance and they will send you the correct base for it.

Post a photo of your rifle, someone here can probably identify it. Here is one of mine, a #2 with Marbles tang sight. The #2 is easily recognized by the curved mating surface between the receiver and buttstock. Alll other models are straight.
