I'm not going into the discussion between open sights pro and con.
I have always attached great importance to the metallic sight line on the rifles we manufacture.
Of course we respect the requirements of our customers but, for me, a rifle without a set of perfectly regulated metallic sights and without an hand fitted quick detachable scope mount guaranteeing a perfect return to zero is not a real rifleman rifle....
I also note that many forget all the benefits that the addition of a quality diopter can bring to our ageing eyes.
This is just my personal opinion and I don't impose it on anyone.

I've had sights put on various rifles and lament the fact that they are no longer standard issue on factory rifles, so I see nothing controversial in what you post here. The only reason my sightless rifles are sightless is that standard sights were not available and for most shooting I don't absolutely NEED them. But given the option to have them, your points are 100% solid. I still think a barrel sans sights looks odd and unfinished as well.
