Whilst I like the idea of a foresight raiser, it might be as easy to look for another rear sight.
Shame about Zooma! That would have been perfect.
I'm sure one will pop up.
Enjoy the sunny weekend all

A foresight riser is not possible for a Model 75 as it has a one piece cast foresight assembly/housing that fits around the barrel, but the '75 HV came with a higher optional front casting as well as the standard height type. Both came with every new rifle.
Your only "good" option for "dual distance" shooting is a spare rear dioptre, but it does not have to be from a Model 76 as the other Original dioptre sights will fit and work just as well and there are a lot more of them about so you should have more chance of finding one.
I may even have one - I will take a look and let you know if I can find it.
