I'd suggest you compare photographs of Remington rolling Block Long Range rifles with photographs of the Hepburn first. I'm not at all sure that the Hepburn had a special front sight designed for it. After all if you have a sight that's been successful on one model rifle it would pay to simply use it an another model rifle. It does away with new tooling and production expenses. 

Rifle manufacturers were not renowned for throwing money around. It could well be the same front windage sight on both rifles.

Edit. A quick Web search shows reproduction Remington sights are like hen teeth, sorry.

Check here for parts for Reproduction Hepburn windgauge front sight. All of the parts might not be available. Apertures are hard to find. I built three .

Jim at Distant Thunder can make just about any form of front sight inserts.
