    Yeah I am interested to see them too. Often thought about trying something similar but seem to only happen on levers and they don't really interest me.

    I’ve got one, but it’s currently got a scope on it.

    Just interested to see what people are doing.
    I wouldn’t hunt without a suppressor anymore but finding a suppressor/open sight combo is difficult. Just makes a lot of sense for a bush rifle that shoots 60m max.
    Open sights are simple, good in wet weather, cheap and not much to go wrong.

    The daughters Marlin 357 sbl has Ghost Ring sights we managed to thread and add a dpt and keep front sight . Great little bush gun with 16 inch barrel , no kick , and able to run off the shelf 38 subs for quiet shooting ... And 8 in the tube ...
    And safe with a chambered round with 2 safeties (hammer block and half cock )
    What more could you want for short range fast shots...?

    Would be cool if someone went for a Bubba™ 'balls to the wall' solution and just welded/soldered a front sight blade onto their mod.

    Super keen on the Aimsport solution as I actually have a Triton 42 II as luck would have it! Thanks @gimp !

    As to be expected, the UK distributor does not list it as an option to purchase...

    If based on a No 4 and left in .303 you'd have closed iron sight advantage (for older eyes) and the choice between supersonics and subsonics. Almost any shot out No 4 will do fine at 50-60m.
