Gotcha. In my case, when and if I am going to use irons on my drilled and tapped take off Hog Hunter barrel, I will consider making it a 308 'wildcat' to keep the sights clocked. I will assume the responsibility when and if I do that.

I have an idea for my melonited 6.8 barrel for this issue. When I am done, if successful, I will be naming the end result 'Bubba.' Failure will result in me using an ultradot.
