Hello, friends.

Looking to replace the front sight on my rifle, a Left Handed Zastava M70 in .375 Holland & Holland. I have a Talley Peep for use when the scope is off, but that factory front sight is leaving a LOT to be desired. I've looked all over, and cannot find one for the M70/Mark X/Remington 98 per se...So I guess what I am asking is this...are there any other makes/models with the same dovetail dimensions as the M70 sight (the blade itself, not the entire ramp), or one close that I can hand fit? Or would I be better off replacing the whole ramp assembly from a major manufacturer for known dimensions and parts availability?

Thanks in advance, and hope everybody on here is doing well.

You might try NECG. They sell sights to fit metric guns.good luck finding one.
 
When I decided not to use any more riflescopes on my rifle, and to use the metal sights that come on the Remington 700, swap out the original front sight for one of the XS brand ... and the rifle's quick-sight results are excellent.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
