Used Marble Sight Set 995001 to mount the Marble tang sight [marked "Browning"]. Screws fit just so.

(2) 10-32 x .342 for front and rear screw. Set also includes an 10-32 x 2.060 [which is not needed]. Marble's sight list does NOT show the long screw... But it isn't needed...

Nice to see you got it mounted. My only guess on the 10-32X2.06 would be a rear tang screw for an original.

The Browning B78 and the Browning BCPR rifles don't have tangs, so what the 2.060 is for,I dunno. But it DID work.

Only the 78 is tang-free and one of the complaints about those rifles.
I machined a base so I could use my Soule tang sight on my Browning TH in .38-55. That same base fits my original Low Wall .22.
