Quick question?
Can the front sight post remain if the red dot sight is mounted or does it have to be removed (Model 94)
Hi Bennett,
Yes, the front sight post remains and the red dot sight shoots over it.
I have a pre 64 Winchester model 94 30/30 . I have a osprey red dot /green dot . It has the quick release flip on the side will it hook up fit on your rail . I’m getting old and iron sights are a little hard for me now . Bought the gun new in 64
Hi Jim,
I’m not sure if that will work, as we haven’t tried it in house. You’d be welcome to try it out; if you find that it doesn’t work you can mail it back for a full refund, less $10 shipping and handling.
Thanks,
Sara
Hi guys I have a Winchester ranger in 30-30 and hoping to fit a vortex venom red dot. Do you have a mount for this in stock? I’m in NZ but have friends in the states that could ship on to my address as it says you don’t ship to NZ. Thanks.
Hi Daely,
Thanks for contacting us. You can use the Docter/Noblex mount for the Vortex Venom. We can only ship these domestically.
Thanks,
Sara
