Winchester sight ?
I've been looking at the Brad Johnson 1886 on gunsinternational.com (it's a great one to look at but way too much $$$$$ for me).My question is has anybody seen a rear sight like is on this rifle?It's got a three leaf set up but in place of the express v's for different ranges it has a normal buckhorn,a express v and a small ladder style sight.Does anyone make a modern reproduction of this style sight? It looks like a neat idea.

Re: Winchester sight ?
That rifle's been around for a while and I am always fascinated by that sight. I've never seen one like it and wonder if it was custom made from various parts.
... I love poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

That is a Sheard 3-Leaf Adjustable sight. Described in the book: Old Gunsights, by Nick Stroebel listed on page 210, picture on page 209. Interestingly enough, it was a sight put on Remingtons. Does look good on that Winchester though doesn't it. They state in the description that a "modern barrel and sights" were put on the rifle.
