You could always do something similar to what I did for my 7x57 as I too wanted to have the carryability of an iron sighted rifle with the usability of a scope sight for those longer shots.
I went with the bolt mounted aperture even though dictated, by necesity, a higher mounted sciope than ideal. I had a set of bases made that followed the Ruger idea of a longer rear ring height so that when the scope was off the rifle the bases would be as unobreusive as possible. Changed the ruger screws for a set of levers and have the desired result. Carry the rifle and use with aperture sights for into the 200yd range and have the 2-7 scope in a german styled leather bag over my shoulder out of the way but it is a simple and quick exercise to drop it on and change the ammo for a longer shot. I may not have mentioned that I have a 200-250 yd hunting load with 160gn soft nosed cast bullet at 2400fps for the aperture sighted shooting with the scope sighted for the 160gn Woodleigh PP at 2700fps. Fortunately they are both within an inch of elevation at 150yds so using wither ammo with both sights is exceptable for 200yd shots. Pic shows the trial scope in place and the reason I had the sight stem shortened by a mm or two for clearance under the scope, which was changed for a smaller 2-7 Leupold
