On that stainless barrel I think drill/tap is the best way to go. Maybe a shorty ramp and sight of your choice.
I put open sights on an Axis II .243. I did a drill/tap for the rear sight, and that one's fine. However, I soldered a Mauser 98 hooded sight on the front. And after firing a few rounds, the solder loosened and the sight slid off center. I've soldered front sights before, and they didn't come loose. But this is the first stainless steel barrel I've tried.
So the question is: Is there a problem doing this with stainless steel?
Thanks for any replies.

It looks like you need some specials prep and the right components .
I love this forum, I learn something all the time. Excellent article on soldering stainless.

I’ve read there are some Loctite products that work well on a banded sight.

Clean with alcohol, fit as necessary, scuff both surfaces with 180 grit, clean with alcohol again, use Loctite Red 263 if you need some time or 380 if you’re brave.
It's just the labeling as far as I know. I did come across this which may be of interest to you.

Did you use silver or silver with cadmium. The guys who re-solder Remington bolt handles on use a higher temp stuff.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Very interesting stuff.
