Winchester 69a ???

LGS has a nice little 69a for sale. It has a rear peep on it, and if I remember correctly it is a Redfield. Looking in the bb it mentions a target version of the 69a and it references a model 97a rear peep and a 80a hooded front sight, but does not mention the maker. There is no rear open sight on it, only a blank. Any ideas as to what I might be looking at? Thanks.

  I just bought one a couple months ago, it didn't have the peep sights but open sights. I read as much as I could about 69a, and if I remember right they refereed to the one with peep sight, ramp that it was a target model of the 69, with model 75 more of there middle grade target rifle. I did see a couple with Redfield sight and I know they talked about the mod97a and 80a hood, I just assumed they were the ones made by Winchester.

  We have an 1894 Winchester made in 1898, that has a tang peep sight on it. although I have found no name anywhere on it, I understand that it was made by Lyman for Winchester.

  target models are marked l rifle or long rifle only. have no place for a rear barrel sight.

  The sight model numbers you mention are for the factory-equipment Winchester-made sights, not interchangeable with Lyman or Redfield.
