Just seeking some opinions here. I have a Winchester Mod 94 Ae .30-30 and I am contemplating removing the front sight. I have a scope mounted on it and never plan to shoot it with the open sights. The only reason I want it gone is because it snags up on the rifle bag when I get it out in a hurry when chasing pigs. (shooting from quad bike) All my bolt guns have no open sights and I like them that way and I also like the look of it as it looks natural. It's different with the 94 though and I wonder if it will detract from the looks of the rifle.
So I kind of have two questions.
1. Should I remove it or should I just put some tape over the sight to make it a bit more streamlined?
2. If I do remove it, is it as simple as punching the blade out of the dovetail from left to right with a brass punch?
