Jim,

I too have see more than just a few Model 71s that have been drilled & tapped for a receiver mounted scope... they are all UGLY in my opinion

Roughly 40% of the Model 71s were equipped with the No. 98A bolt-peep sight, which I don't care for either. I do like them when they have a factory installed Lyman No. 56.
