[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1604398, member: 105102"] For giggles and grins, I soldered on a set of sights at a 45deg (like the off set AR15 sights) on a old Mauser 6.5x55 sporter before the metal was refinished. I used it a few times out hunting, just roll the rifle for open sights......It worked really good, but man it screwed with the classic lines of a bolt action! :D I removed them prior to the metal getting refinished and soldered them on square......I figured if I ever tried selling it NO Sane person would have bought it.....Wish I had taken a picture of it! I guess for me it depends on what the purpose of the rife is, but overall, I prefer to have open sight as a back up option! Maybe belt and suspenders, but for as little time as I get out hunting now a days, I want a back up plan! [/QUOTE]
