I understand that messing with the muzzle end of a heavy match barrel or the like can influence accuracy. Dovetail slots or screw holes can cause a shift. The best system is a clamp on front sight. The Verguerio won't be in that category of rifles. I'm going to stock it in a classic Bavarian/Austrian style so a slimed barrel would be nice. I'm going to inlet the barrel and action into a M98 stock, which it almost fits, then carve a pattern stock that fits me and have it duplicated in nice wood.

I'm still interested in the tang sights. I really like them.
