Much easier to aim now and the sight is super robust

Good idea. Hard item to find if it’s your preference. I’ve think I’ve seen them aftermarket for Winchester 94’s and ruger 10/22s but that’s about it really.
No standard for dovetails.
The pen is mightier than the sword. If the pen is used to order more swords.

Besides not easy to find and expensive another problem is most aftermarket ones looks not strong enough if drop the gun, easy to break or too bulky and heavy
