I would really like to get rid of the ghost ring on the rear of the gun. I would like to get a notch type sight, but am having trouble finding anything that will work. Is it that big of a deal to change it out? I know I will get used to it, and I have shot it at 2 turkeys and both came home with me, but would really love a more conventional rifle sight. I do not want a scope or a dot (I have a red dot that would fit it that I no longer use). Any thoughts? Should I take it after the season to my buddy that loves to build AR type weapons? Would he be able to outfit it with a rear notch sight do you think? Just something I have been wondering. I will use as is this season, so I am not in a rush. I figured maybe some of ya'll are more up on these type of sights.
I would think any rear ramp sight could be mounted to the picatinny rail. The trick will be to get the correct height. Why don't you like the ghost ring? I can't see red dots myself so was hoping to add a ghost ring with two fiber or tritium dots on either side.

I don't know why I just don't feel it. I have shot iron sight rifles (Model 94, 10/22, Remington 572) and love them. Also shoot shotguns with tiny front sights (if any) and a vent rib - both eyes open. I know with repetition the ghost ring will become second nature as well, I just don't feel like putting that amount of time in. According to lots of rifle shooting experts, it is more accurate than a V or U notch, but that comes with range time.
