Thanks VonGruff. I like the idea re: lowering the sight heighth. To be honest, I hadn't considered that. I have a Griffin&Howe QD sidemount for the rifle, so I now have to compute whether there'll be interference between the two when they're both on the gun. Like you, the scope will be carried seperate from the gun (method used with my current Mauser).
I figure windage can be dealt with by moving the sight slightly in it's dovetail in addition to drifting the front sight.
