Hi, new guy here. Just purchased nice H&R 157 in 30-30 it's missing rear sight due to scope mount I was wondering what type and where I can find replacement if I decide not too use the scope and mount .

Or, get a peep sight from Skinner or Williams.  Does that have the dovetail rear sight?  If so, you can get the Williams slide in dovetail sight and a peep type insert for it.  Or as Carbineman posted, get one from Numrich Gun Parts.

I used the peep sight off a Buffalo Classic and a MUCH higher front sight, one I had in my junk gun parts box.  I used the calculator from the Williams gun sight catalog, the sight I had on hand figured to be correct, and it was.  Works just as well as I can see, simple and usable.
