You could try a backup peep style. It would save messing with the barrel some. You would still probably have to drill and tap to install a front.

Jim Brockman was working on a pop up peep that was compatible with the M700. He should have it done by now.

Camp Cook to the white courtesy phone,...........(He has installed a nice setup on his latest creation.)

I would just mount a low power scope, like a 1-4x Leupold

New England Custom Gun
has band-type fronts that are sweat fit, and rear aperture sights or rear express type leaf.
