Between Skinner and Dove it looks like we are 80% of the way to solving the iron sight issue. Adding another 150 bucks or so to the rifle is no optimal, it would be nice if Ruger just offered them from the get go.

By the way, look at the front sight that Jerry Dove put on this Ruger American Ranch "Scout" in .223.

Here are two more rifles with the same type of front sight.

Mine wears a forward mounted Votex Crossfire scout scope sitting on high rings so I can still use the sights. I just acquired a threaded barrel cap to be rid of that ridiculous flash hider; haven't even put it on yet. Very cool, and the sights are great, but the rig is a bit heavy for a Scout. The Ranch Rifle would be lighter.

The Ruger Gunsite Scout with the forward rail and flashhider removed is actually a very viable utility rifle with a more traditional appearance. It has a very usable iron sight setup (ghost ring/protected front blade) and a reliable detachable box mag (AICS).

it’s no longer a scout rifle. And you’re paying for features you’re not using. But is still a very handy, compact 1 MOA rifle with iron sights that don’t require you to drill any new holes.

I like the stainless .308 myself - 19 inch barrel, adjustable LOP, just over 7 lbs empty and configure as as above. Perfecto

Put a set of ultradyne sights on your Ruger.

Beat me to it.:)

While designed for the AR, Ultradyne would make a good business out of an adjustable front post and rear sight package for railed receiver rifles.

The trouble would be with the varying contours of the rifle barrels.
And the ungainly esthetics, a’la Keltec Sub2000.

An appropriate scope would be less obtrusive.
 
Get a 1/2x28 nut , and jam nut . Use a dremmel tool to cut a notch in nut . Solder a penny or nickel into slot . Shape to your specs. cut to hight.
I think there is a real opportunity for a sight company if they make a ring with a dovetailed flat that threads onto barrels.
