    Winchester Model 75 - sights, magazines and ammo

    Have a new to me Winchester 75 bolt action target rifle.
    It only has a single 5 shot magazine. I see that Midway and Brownell's both have replacement 5shot magazines from Wisner. Any feedback?
    Where can I find a10 shot magazine, I haven't found a replacement (original on Ebay was asking big bucks).

    Anyone shooting one have ammo suggestions - I'm trying to buy a variety, Contra Costa County sucks for ammo purchasing.

    It has a Lyman front sight, with lots of different aperatures - different colors, sizes, and posts. Just try them all or is there a a table that says which one?

    Rear appears to be Winchester 84.

    Thanks for any feedback!

        If you ever need to search for parts, just remember that all the action parts interchange with the (much more common) Winchester Model 69, as do the magazines. Most of the action parts also interchange with the Model 72, except the magazine parts. The 75 came in both sporter and target versions; the target version is MUCH more common because it was used by many shooting clubs and teams, and by the US military for training, and by ROTC units as well.

        You may have a Lyman 17 or 17A front sight. I would just try the inserts until you find one that works best for you. If you lose or run out of inserts, I believe that they are still sold by Lyman. I use on on a Winchester Low Wall single shot I have, and appreciate the selection because they make one wide enough that my old eyes can actually SEE it!

          Thanks for the information. I have acquired several different types of ammo to try, and 2 extra 5 round clips from Brownells (Masen). I have the target model.

          I looked at the magpul magazines, it looks like you have to custom fit the magazine to get it to work. I sent the manufacturer an email, maybe thats a next year project.
