Got this today and haven't had a chance to look into it deeply !
I think it's 8.15x46R and either a Haenel or Aydt .

Maybe this helps.
The website is in German. This one too.
If you need help let me know.
Thanks for the links !
I actually got a fellow in Washington state to make a sight very similar to these back about a year ago . Think it cost me about $165 and then I had the base and eyecup color cased and the rest blued . Looks okay I think !

While I did loose intrest in messing with this rifle back last year . I expect maybe after hunting season I'll get back on track with the old gun .

;)If you are going to make cases using 30-30 cases you may have to turn a few thousands off the rim.
Yeah I found that out .
And after I got about 200 cases trimmed etc using once fired 30-30 brass I kinda lost intrest in messing with the rifle .

I shoot mine most of time with the original iron sight, but did make a base that attaches to barrel (no holes drilled) and to that base I have bases for Unertl scope. If I knew how I would attach picture. Yours is System AYDT.

Now once I get this thing to shooting decent I'll have to see if I can get the fellow that runs the Schuetzen Matches at Thurmont Maryland to put in a iron sighted offhand match in his program !

Somebody in Germany is again making those Schuetzen rear sights.
Check in (as previously suggested) to"
This is the Forum of the “American Single Shot Rifle Ass'n” - they'll be able to offer you some information.

Dale53 , got setup on the ASSRA forum the other day and started a thread about needing the sights !
In about 4 hours one fellow gave the phone number of a retired gentleman in OR or WA that would machine the rear sight for me at a modest fee . I called then gentleman last evening and he was more then happy to help and his price was very reasonable . And on top of that he had an original front sight he said he could make work on my rifle as well !
Thanks for heading me in the right direction :dude:

Thanks it would be kinda nice to get a front and rear for the old rifle and shoot it some !
I have a buddy with a German Martini schuetzen in 8.15x46R that I worked some loads up for ! He has a nice old rifle . But last week he let it fall out of his safe and busted his rear sight . Now our gunsmith buddy is trying to replicate one for him . Don't think it'll be inexpensive to say the least !

I have used some of the Pedersoli peep sights.
The leveraction sights ,the various cheaper peep sights I did not like.,
while I have been satisfied by the soule midrange sight.
I shoot a 45/70 and a 38-55 at 100 and 200 meters.
I have never seen in use the antique german peeps,the Soule models are not cheap,in my opinion they are worth their money.

Try the assra web site. There was some discussion in one of the forums about where one could get the missing sights. Cannot remember which one (CRS) it was in. Beautiful rifle. Frank

I have a bunch of 30-30 brass , so I think I'm gonna borrow my shooting buddies dies and make about 50 cases for this rifle while I'm waiting to get sights or a scope mount .

Look down towards the bottom of the page, there are some sights that lookk simular to the old german sights. Try E-bay, look under rifle sights or peep sights I have seen some on there before. Good Luck.
BTW I'll be watin for a range report. Thanks !

Nice looking single shot. I have a similar 8.15x46R on a Martini action without the Swiss butt late.
My friends 8.15x46R schuetzen is on a Martini as well .
I got my education on this cartridge messing with his when he got it !

Well I've discovered a number of options for period sights , which happens to be the route I would prefer .
I also have what I refer to as a “semi friend” who's willing to make me one . I've already seen something he made for a military rifle that is pretty similar . I have faith that he can reproduce the one on my friends Martini with adaptions to fit my Naneal Aydt .

Almost forgot a friend that owns a Martini 8.15x46R brought a loaded round in this afternoon for me to try in the chamber ! Fit perfectly , so then I tried a loaded 32-40 round and it wouldn't quite fit . When my friend got his rifle we had fired some weak 32-40 rounds in that rifle no problem .
