Daddy just got me my bestest birthday present ever -- a classic Winchester 70 .30-06. Trouble is.. no iron sights. I have a Leupold scope I was gonna have mounted to it, but before I buy some basic mounts, I thought I'd see if there were any mounts made that had even rudimentary irons attatched to 'em.

Or failing that... any other suggestions?

Thanks so much!

i honestly don't understand the fascination w/ iron sights this board has... get a good scope (you have one), and put it in quality mounts, and you will never have a need for irons, or weird high-ring set-ups.

for your mounts: talley, leupold dual dovetails (std works for most folks just fine, but the dd's are better), warne, nightforce, badger, and etc all make quality mounting systems for little (warne) to lots (nightforce) of cash.

afaik, brockman does integral iron sight bases.

Stick your scope on the receiver with some nice quick release rings (you could go with a picatinny rail, you get more options, but lose any classic look) and have sights mounted on the barrel.

Never seen any easy way to get irons on a firearm that did not come with them.

Oh, and I hope you enjoy your present!:D

XS Sights (http://www.xssights.com/store/rifle.html) offers a ghost-ring rear sight that mounts to the holes used for scope bases. However, you'd have to provide your own front sight.

As mentioned previously, AFAIK, Brockman also offers scope bases with an integral rear sight. He also has his own front sight system - but his prices aren't cheap!
