Peeps sight for Mannlichers are hard to find. The split receiver makes it difficult to mount any peep on the receiver. Lyman made a model 56 aperture sight that springs back as the bolt hits it. When one can find them, be prepared to pay almost $600.
I scrounged through my spare parts and cobbled together a sight. I had a tang sight that I cut off the mount and silver soldered it to a spare bolt shroud. I then fabricated a post and adjustable aperture. It actually looks almost like an original bolt peep that was used back in the day.
