Contact these folks. I think they reproduced the Winchester bolt peep sight.

Chris, I don't know about having allen head adjustment screws, but the bolt peep sight Frontier Americana of Fargo made dropped right into the 71 breech bolt slots.

The frontier Americana bolt peep is a fairly close reproduction. It does not have allen head screws, as Winchester did not in the original. There may be some fitting required to install it. Mine did. Also, in another posting we talked about the fact that the gun left the factory with the elevation screw retaining nut already installed in the bolt on factory grooved guns. This precludes the need to dismantle the bolt. Check this out on your gun. It will save a few hassles for you. Not all the guns had the nut, according to a few posters though.
