If I may pick your brain without hijacking the thread....

I just ordered a 12 Palma. Savage says the action is drilled and tapped for scope. Does that mean I must yet drill and tap for rear iron sights?

And do you happen to know the dimensions of the front tenon on the 12 Palma? I intend to set mine up for both Palma and F-class with a scope.

I know nothing about high-end iron sights beyond my M1A and Garand match sights. Any pointers? The manufacturers mentioned in posts above all look OK to me. Can't really tell the fine points without seeing them in person. I would obviously be opting for a tenon mounted front sight so it could be removed for scope use.

Anything else I should know about?

Thanks.
