Hello neighbors,

I just bought a Savage Sporter in 32-20. It is an interesting rifle in one of my favorite calibers. It is an older model and the only holes in the receiver for sights are two holes of different diameters on the top. There are no holes drilled on the side for a side mount. I have a side mount on my Savage 219 so I am somewhat familiar with those.

I have 2 questions for the brain trust here. Any help or opinions are always appreciated.

First, I am happy with iron sights but in the event that I want to mount a scope in the future do I have any options that don't involve drilling more holes?

And second, it is missing the rear action screw in the trigger guard. Numrich is out of stock but I found someone who lists one for a model 23 in 22 LR. Do you think that it will fit?

Again, thanks every one!
