I'm looking to iron sight this rifle and just wonder if anyone has done it using the scope mount holes for a base? I seem to recall a PALMA version of this rifle. Any thoughts on getting a decent match receiver sight on here will be appreciated. I have Redfield PALMA and International sights on hand and a few other odd match sights.

Simple solution would be just D&T for a base I can use with the Redfields. Just hate to drill on such a nice rifle. (-:}

One issue is the left side ejection port and another is the SN is stamped on the back of the receiver right where I'd have to drill holes if I D&T for a Redfield base. Base on my 40X looks like it would fit but I don't want to deface the SN and the holes would have to go right through it.
