The sights would have made me purchase it as well.

I like it too.

I'd simply clean up the stock a bit, find some 225gr. Speers, load it with N205 or IMR4350 to about 2,400fps and use it for moose and elk - get it sighted in for those bullets (maybe try some 185's as well) and hunt.

I'm sorry can't help with any 'other' info.
