I'm considering a Remington Model 7 as the basis for my "all purpose rifle". (I'm drawn to it's light weight, overall length under 40", and barrel length of 20". Note that I carefully avoid naming that rifle my "scout rifle" so as not to offend Scout Rifle {tm} officiandos.)
One factor in my decision is whether it - in its current production model - has either iron sights from the factory (even a bead) or at least is drilled & tapped for them. Yes, I do plan to add a scope, but I want iron sights (again that could be ghost ring with a bead) as backup in case the scope fails in a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI event.
If not, is there another current production bolt rifle in 7mm08 or .308 of at least approximately those specifications (6.25 lbs, <40", 20" barrel) that have iron sights or is drilled/tapped for them?
Thanks.
