Ladder sights have always been expensive, would be a nice addition for a Winchester replica. If they could be made by hand they could even be accurately zero'd for our guns too, that way they would be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, lol.
10yd increments vertically out to 50/60 yds, anything less than 10 yds and you keep it flat. Anyone know the range of a Walther Winchester or even the shell loading version ? As I haven't pushed mine out any further than 10yds yet.

I’ve hit my silhouette 12” targets at 50 yards rested using JSB 8.44 and a bit of hold over. Next time I’m down at that club I’ll replicate it and photograph.

I've had a bit of a result on these! I really wanted a set of these ladders they look great on the rifle in bb1975's photos but there are none to be had online without paying a fortune as already mentioned. I sent a PM to the seller of my Carbine and bb1975 's asking if he knew where to get ladder sights from as I have seen them on a mates pictures (I didn't mention bb1975's on here for obvious reasons). He said he has had them in the past but are pretty rare, they come off an airsoft Winchester but aren't sold separately so he's traded a few in the past for optic sights. I then got one of my favourite lines you can wish to receive message - 'I think I have a set in my spares drawer' He's come back to me today and he's found a set I'm £40 lighter but they are all metal and look in decent condition. Chuffed with that, I just hope they are delivered before I go away next week with the postal strikes etc.

Nice work James!!
I'm surprised he hadn't advertised them before, I'd still love to know where he gets all these Winchesters from.

He also offered me a set of optical sights which from the pictures look identical to the sights that come on the Hammerli/Umarex 850 rifle. He assured me that they fit the Winchesters but I didn't fancy them. He must be a Winchester connoisseur!

Just got back from my jollies and my new ladder sights were waiting for me on the door mat. I'll finish the unpacking later I wanted to get them fitted. These are the business - all metal and fit perfectly I'll keep my eyes open for more sets for forum members as these really do enhance the lever action rifles

Looks really great fitted, I'll be interested in getting one of these if you come across another one.

Very nice James. Love it. I have given up trying to find one for an affordable price.
Another thing I pondered though. Are these sights ok for short range plinking or are they better for long range?

I've only use them folded down for short range plinking with a knock down gallery, but they're good for that.
I'll keep my eyes peeled and share any ads I see, but it was only by chance that they came fitted to my Wells Fargo, I wouldn't have splashed out especially on them.
