So I just won an auction for Husqvarna 46B in 6.5 Swede. Looking forward to playing with this rifle, but someone had taken the sights off of it. The rear sight is an 11mm dovetail. I am having heck finding a rear sight made for an 11mm dovetail. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe Skinner sights could do it or add their sight to a wedge you made.

I think I ran into that with a CZ rifle I bought a while back... if that gives you another option for searching

Yeah, my understanding is that 11mm is the European standard. I figured there would be more options based on that, but it is proving to be difficult.

I emailed him and got a super quick reply back. I sent him a picture of the slot I need to fit a sight in and I'm waiting to hear what he makes of it.
I hadn't paid attention to the Skinner sights before, but so far he seems to be friendly and I like the looks of what he has. I was thinking of trying to replace it with something close to original, but looking at his website has me thinking some type of peep sight might be the way to go.
I guess worst comes to worst, I can put something on the top of the receiver as it is drilled and tapped. If I do that I wouldn't be able to scope it too though.

I use vertically split Talleys and Warnes on my euro's, They fit CZ and Anschutz nicely, haven't tried on a husky though.
