If you want to get fancy, Brownells has dovetail blanks which most gunsmiths use for filling in dovetails, not putty.
FWIW, and at the risk of making an enemy (I hope not), I would not spend a dime on that rifle; its proper role is as a tomato stake and it doesn't need a nice finish for that. I worked on maybe hundreds of those rifles, under a dozen or so names and model numbers, and they were all junk. They would work OK for a while when new, then something would go wrong. Fix that, and something else would go bad. Finally, parts supplies ran out and we were able to tell customers that no parts were available. Thank heaven!
If you insist on spending time and money on that rifle, you will start with junk and many dollars and frustrating hours later you will still have junk.
Just MHO, of course, but if you doubt me, ask yourself why so many turn up incomplete or in pieces, stuck away in junk boxes. Those were the result of screaming fits by previous owners.
