Funny.
I succumbed to trendy fashion and removed open sights from my Parker Hale M98 .30-06. if I could find them again, I'd restore them. Just looks better, especially now as the MontecCarlo stock was replaced with a bespoke modern "American" style classic stock.
My old Remington 788 .222 has no open sights, removed. It doesn't matter on that rifle.
Modern makers make rifles with cheap and nasty stocks, plastic, synthetic, composite, ugly rifles, no open sights, picatinny rails etc. All for cost reasons. Entirely suitable for a 6.5 Creedmoor type rifle. A classic 6.5x55 rifle would demand more style.
