I ordered it from Talley, who I believe manufacture it for Winchester. It needs Talley rings, too.
Not cheap, but then neither was the rifle.
Part numbers and prices from my invoice are:
Product Qty Unit price
Winchester 1885 (Low Wall) 252885 1 100.00
1” Fixed Ring (High) (Gloss) G100005 1 75.95
Just don't show those numbers to my wife...

Thanks, Red. Yup - quality is usually worth paying for. "Why spoil the ship for a ha'p'orth* of tar?"

Sir, you are correct!
Photo proof, I used my 22lr as it is more photogenic
