Hi folks, I have a Winchester (Miroku) 1886 Deluxe takedown in 45-70 with a tang safety. I was thinking about installing a Marble's tang sight. Midway has one specifically for the tang safety models for $124. They say that you must drill and tap the tang for the other screw on the sight. The photo shows 1 hole, I'm assuming the other one is under base assembly. I hate the thought of drilling into this beautiful rifle. My question is: is there any way to avoid drilling that second hole and only use the one hole. Would that one hole hold the tang sight on rigid enough to maintain alignment?
Are there any other alternate methods that are non-destructive?
any help would be helpful.
thanks,
John
