The open rear sight is not so important to me anymore.
I would just as soon have a fold-down rear like on the Winchester M70 XTR .
Makes it easy to use a peep rear sight,
again from NECG is a dandy "ghost ring" that attaches to the integral Ruger scope base.

I also prefer a forend tip stud for sling instead of the barrel-banded type:
