Iron sights for Sako AV

[Chuckbuster]

Anybody know of suitable after market iron sights, or acceptable substitute for factory irons, for a Sako AV rifle? An online search turned up one or two locations to obtain OEM factory iron sights, but holy smokes Batman...it would be almost $500 to buy them. So, obviously I'm looking for a suitable after market alternative. Anybody know or have an idea of what might work?

Someone on the EE a while back was looking for a C-Note each, IIRC, for two different variants of the Factory rear for the Sako taper dovetail.

Kinda a neat little rig and all, but I doubt I'd get any use out of them if I owned them...

Would not be too tough to make if you had some machine shop skills, as I recall they only uses opposing screws to adjust point of aim. (loosen one, then tighten the opposite one to move, four screws total)

Might be able to modify a scope mount to work at the back, add the remains of an adjustable sight to it. Basic clamp on front sight.

I use a sako peep , my av came with the front post , It was set perfect for the peep like it was designed for it

The rifle is scoped, so this is the aesthetic I'm looking to achieve:

Just checked the gun room, got a set of those off a .375. Going to add them to my .416 AV on the EE though.

Gotta be someone out there that is making a suitable Express sight along the lines as would be appropriate.

Checked out the NECG sights?

Thanks, they look much more wallet friendly. I'll have a close look to see if anything works.
