Re: bolt mounted peep sight

There is also a dovetail in the barrel, this is causing me to think that the bolt dovetail is the work of a gunsmith long ago. I got the rifle from a man who got it in the early 60's and he said the dovetail was there when he got it.

I just picked up a 1907 vintage winchester model 1894 rifle that is cut for a bolt peep. Where can i find one and about how much will it cost me? I am not into the gun a whole lot and am willing to put a bit of cash into her.
