BTW does anyone know what brand sight this is?:

This is very similar to the setup I'm aiming for, only I'd prefer a properly dovetailed front sight:

No, but there are a number of manufacturers of peep sights - have a look at Brownells.com.au.
The front sight is possibly done that way so the barrel doesn't need a new dovetail cut every time the chamber is recut or the barrel replaced.

Yes, as is written on the sight, Redfield. Type / model is International. They are a match grade sight with positive click adjustments for both elevation and windage, made in U.S.A.
By the way, there is a Remington 16.5" barrelled .300BLK on usedguns today.

I'm impressed :clap: How about the attachment on the side - do you know what the official name for that piece is?

No way! Pity it's not in 308w!

Come on, bit of tongue in cheek. Damn, I forgot the sarcasm thingy again.
Seriously though, that is what it is and the attachment on the side is part of the sight. They make the sight and then basically an adapter for different brands/models of rifles. The Redfield 75 is a similar sight made for flat sided lever actions. They are very sought after in my sport and getting harder to come by. There is also their "Olympic" and "Palma" sights that are similar to the one in your pics.
Front sight?

And I was seriously impressed mate - no sarcasm! The resolution of that original image was way too low for me to read the writing on the top of the sight - yet you are clearly experienced enough to tell at a glance. Seriously, thank you :drinks:

What's the writing on the top there? Looks like branding stuff more than specs?
