1AK may have the answer for you. Though I can't use traditional open soghts well at all anymore, a few years ago I realized I was leaving my levers at home. If I needed a rifle I grabbed a bolt gun, because they were stocked better for scope use. So I took the scopes off a .30-30 and a .22 lever and put ghost ring apertures on them with a post front. Discovered I can hit with them pretty well, though not as well as with a scope. But for a day at the farm, they are often what goes with. They carry like an old friend on a walk through a pasture or hayfield, and the stocks put my eye right where it needs to be. I can riddle a pop can out to 40 or 50 yards with my Browning lever .22 and Skinner sights. That's what, I now remember, is what a .22 is for.
