Essentially, what you're looking for is in this first link.
http://www.classicfirearmsandparts.com/ ... ?Item=1878
If you do a Google search on "Remington 760 rear sight step" you will find lots of links.
Have you actually fired the gun at a target? Many times, the owners took the sight steps out (of various rifles) because the rifles fired too high (at shorter ranges) with them in.
Anyway, hope this helps.

Bear with me.......
I just found out that they put a limit of ONE LINK per post in the forum postings.
AND, they put a time limit on how soon you can make another post. AARRRRGGGG!!!
The link I posted in the previous post is part of this link.

I see that they're out of stock, but you might be able to check with other sources.

This is a possibility for another source.

In the search I did, there was also one showing up for sale on Ebay.

Re: Remington 760 info needed
Vendors such as Grice Gun Shop in Clearfield PA usually has replacements on stock.
No reason to try to fabricate one yourself..
The bottom line is that on some low scope mounts, the see thru open sight got in the way of the scope.
When the open sight was removed - the owner didn't want it back.
So the gun shop just kept them in a box for future use.
40 years later - the open sight is no longer needed and the people who wants to restore a gun back to OEM can just buy them for less then $15.00 installed...
By the time you buy the materials, fabricate it and have it blued to match the firearm you will be several times that amount in debt trying to make your own.
I only remember 3 styles.
A flip up sight on the early corn cob models.
Later models starting with the ADL Carbine had a spring type mount with a wedge.
Late models had a solid mount that slid up and down a ramp.
They are not very practical in real world conditions because the stock does not have enough drop and you have to hunker down to look down the barrel to use the open sights - which is not a natural posture position used when firing a rifle.
That is why your dad took it off and threw it away...
