Folks,
I just bought a Savage 111G in 7MM Rem Mag. Also bought a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40M scope. I mounted the scope using Weaver scope rings and mounts. I removed the rear sight using a screw driver and installed a tap screw to fill the hole. The question I have is how do you remove the front sights? There are no screws, so it appears that the front sight is attached using double sided tape. I am hesitant to try to pry the sight off as I don't want to damage it. Anyone have any ideas?
