Mike If Stevens ever offered such a sight, it's exceedingly rare, but that doesn't explain why it would not be included among the other sights. Illustrator errors DO appear in many catalogs, so I'm tempted to attribute that thumb-wheel to the illustrator's misunderstanding--may have had in mind sights used by Marlin & Win.

	I'll go along with the exceedingly rare comment. I think that is why Gary Quinlan said that he had only seen a couple of them in all of his years of collecting. Also the catalog doesn't mention an aluminum butt plate being available but I sure have one. Mike

	I think this may be the Winchester sight that your refering to. I believe it is Winchesters midrange tang sight. It came on my DST HW. It's the original sight to the rifle when new. If it's this sight, the going price is sometimes way North of $600 as a Winchester, as a Stevens....... who knows, it could be double that. Frank

	One of mine is definitely the 108. The 130 is similar. The other one of mine has had the elevation screw and adjusting nut changed. Never seen a Stevens sight with the elevation wheel on the top.
