I own a pair of aces, both were owned by my late law partner and I bought them from his bride so never thought much about their provenance past that. They don't have a lot of warts but aren't perfect by any means either. In all the discussion of the 300H&H last week I got mine out and it dawned on me that the stock isn't original as its an MC on a 1949. When I bought it it had an M8 4x on it which I upgraded to a Leupold centennial 3X9x40 in gloss. And a slug in the rear dovetail and no sight in the hood on the front.

I'd like to put sights on it, correct ones. 22G for the rear, correct? But what do I put in the front?
