Clearly the front sight is removable.
Flip up the ivory sight, remove the screw in front
of the site base, push the sight insert out.

Have another made locally that is taller, too tall and file it
off until you have what you want.

Wonderful thread

Mike

Suedsh,
I believe if you have a special base with several rare earth magnets to hold it down to the rib, and put it on against the back of the standing leaf of the rear sight, it will hold. You might think of a projection on each side of the rib, to prevent bumping it sideways. These little magnets are vary strong and can be stacked to increase the strength, as well as using several stacks epoxied into counterbored holes in the base. This wouldn't require modifying the rifle. I don't know where you live, but Federal loads 450/400-3" now, and new Kynoch is being produced.

Add my welcome to the Board, Sudesh.

Good to hear that an Indian state has opened to big game hunting.

Der Ami has given a possible way to fix a rail that would be machined to take the appropriate base to your rib. Key is to be sure that the rail allows you to butt the base up against your back sight so the sight serves as a recoil stop.

I had such a rail screwed into the rib of my .350 No. 2 and used a Leupold 2.5X fixed scope (no reflex sights in those days), but had to put both rings on the front lens shaft of the scope.

The Trijicon RMR06 will work more easily than any scope. There may just be enough height in your existing rib behind the back sight to machine it to fit one of the bases that you can buy for an RMR06 rather than have to figure out how to fix a rail to that part of the rib...

Regards, Tim
