I don't know if this will work on yours, but here is what I did for my blued Tang RU77 in .338WM. I did not want high sights, especially those high Ruger stock sights.

After some experimentation involving various front ramp and blade sights and electrical tape, smile , I silver soldered the lowest ramp and blade on the front. .260 each IIRC from 20-25 years ago, and filed a V-notch in the highest integral scope base. Does not affect scope mounting at all, and gave me the lowest possible "iron" sights, which with my rifle, puts 250 grain bullets dead on at 100 yards with a 6 o'clock hold.

Just in case I ever have to lose the scope, or want to use it bare for bear carry.

I also modified that front bead with a bit of brazing rod, making it a bit bigger and a lot more rounded, so it doesn't catch on things , and for faster target acquisition. If needed........ smile.

It hasn't been needed as yet.
