Winchester Model 70 Pre-64 African Rear Sight

This is an original Winchester Model 70 Pre-64 African Rear Sight, factory correct for early dangerous game rifles chambered in powerful calibers like .375 H&H Magnum. Featuring a broad express-style ramp with a fixed shallow “V” notch, this sight was designed for quick acquisition in the field, particularly under the demanding conditions of African big game hunting. The sight is finished in Winchester’s traditional deep blue and fits tapered barrels with integral sight bosses.

Whether you’re restoring a classic Pre-64 African or sourcing correct parts for a period-accurate build, this rear sight is a must-have component. These original sights are increasingly scarce, especially in clean condition. Ideal for collectors, hunters, and Winchester purists.

Additional Information

The Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 African was introduced to meet the needs of professional hunters and safari clients facing dangerous game. To match the rifle’s robust performance, Winchester equipped it with an express-style rear sight optimized for fast target acquisition at short to moderate distances. Unlike folding leaf sights or finer sporting versions, this rugged fixed V-notch design allowed hunters to raise the rifle quickly and focus on charging game without hesitation. Only found on early African and select Super Grade rifles, this sight is a key piece of Winchester’s legendary safari heritage.
