McLaughlin Metalwork Sight

[jbirdwell]

Has anyone use the bolt mounted McLaughlin Metalworks sight? Debating contacting them for sights for my pre-64 375 Model 70 that currently does not have sights and a new production Model 70 that’s being converted to 400 H&H. It looks like I would want to open up the aperture to make it more of a quick backup sight but didn’t know how good it would be mounted to the rear of the bolt. It shows that this was a site type used on some of the Rigby’s but wanted to know any thoughts as a good site for a dangerous game rifle.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jaye

I had John McLaughlin install one of his "Plains Game" versions on the bolt of a BRNO VZ 24. It works just fine. John currently makes these sights for Rigby. If it's good enough for them, I figure it's good enough for me.

Thanks for the info. I did like the looks of it along with the longer sight plane vs putting a rear sight on the barrel
