Cool!!

I may have missed it but why not just drill and tap side of receiver?

Already factory drilled on top as indicated. No need to swiss cheese a solid old action

The peep that came on it was a Skinner "Lo-pro" or similar I do believe.

Yes. $35 for a sight better used as a sling swivel. Especially given the NOS Lyman sight was under that price delivered.
