Not well. It falls into the category of having your cake and eating it too. Now you know why quick detachable scope side mounts, like the Griffin&Howe, were popular back in the day - they made for a very versatile package. I put my money where my mouth is once by doing that very thing with an XTR Featherweight (a 1980's 6.5x55). I installed a G&H mount with Lyman Alaskan, mounted a Lyman 48WJS, and swapped out the barrel sight for a folding leaf sight with a wiiiiiide shallow V. The gold Sourdough front side served for both the iron sights. Which sighting arrangement I went with on a particular day of hunting was determined by the terrain I would be loafing in. It worked quite well, and yes hardly a day goes by that I don't regret selling that rifle......
