Dovetail cut dimensions?

[velocette]

My old Winchester rifle has a rear sight dovetail cut measuring 3/8" across the bottom of the cut.
I am looking for a mount for a Holosun red dot to fit in this dovetail.
I cannot seem to find any rear sight charts with dovetails to match up with my rifle.
Any wizards with knowledge of where I can find such a mount?

3/8" is a standard dovetail cut for most rifles. If necessary always file the sight, not the barrel, to get a good fit.

I have used EGW's dovetail mounts for dot optics and can recommend them.

If the dove tail width is not in the product description , email them for which one has a 3/8" dovetail.

Found a pistol mount for a 3/8" dovetail by searching for pistols that use a 3/8" dovetail. Note that most sites do not list dovetail dimensions but only those pistols their mount will fit. Turns out that a Springfield Armory compact 1911 has a 3/8" dovetail. Got a mount & it is now
installed. It will be a temporary installation for accuracy testing. Red dot sight does NOT look good on an old classic rifle, but will do for a while.
