Alas, no sights.

Anyone familiar with what sights this rifle originally had?

It came with Redfield Palma rear sight and a Redfield Olympic front sight. It will shoot with the best rifle out there.

Thanks, MKIII.

I notice that it comes with scope blocks too. They look pretty far apart--does it take one of those mile long Unertl scopes, too?

I'll get to work looking for some Redfield sights

Yes those far apart scope mounts are for a Unertl, Lyman, and other type target scopes. Your Redfield sights show up on Gunbroker or ebay all the time. Probaly in the 200.00 plus range. Happy hunting.

[Calfed]

Would the Redfield Olympic or International rear sights work also?

[MK111]

I am sure both would work just fine. But when the Military purchased them it had the Redfield Palma rear and Olympic front. Not sure but I believe the Palma was the only sight Redfield was making at that time or the best one.

If I could ask, what did you pay for it. I have one I I'm going to sell. It is a CMP and unfired since I got it. Thank you for your help. Rog

I got mine at an estate sale without the sights for a pretty good deal. The sights were about the same as the gun.

Nice 100yd group.

Buy plenty of that Federal ammo w/ the same lot number! Next batch you get is almost certain to be worse (in that rifle). I have no idea why 22lr is so fickle, but...

Of course, it'll probably shoot well w/ the high priced stuff too, but "why spend more" if it's not required?
