Taurus sight on my Rossi 62

No pictures handy but I bought a Taurus sight a while back (forgot that my rifle was a Rossi) I am not sure whether the original Winchester 62 has two holes, but the Rossi tang has only one hole. Had to have a gunsmith install the sight. As to the height: I found the problem was the open sights. They got in the way of the front sight, so I just drifted the sights off the rifle. Now I have an unobstructed tang/front sight view.

Quick and Dirty pic of Taurus Sight on Rossi

Here is a quick pic of Taurus sight on Rossi. I do not believe that the gunsmith drilled two holes, only one. Note that the lower screw of the sight is at the rear of the tang. When I shoot the rifle with the tang raised, I do not recall any discomfort.

Some more pics Taurus tang on Rossi 62

Trying to improve my Photobucket skills! This is my Rossi 62 with Taurus tang sight. To get a clear rear to front sight view, I drifted out the rear open sight. Does anyone know what size blank I can drift into the empty slot left by removing the rear sight.
