The sights are interchangeable between the rifles. I think the "hunting" rifle will forever wear the simple open sights, though. It shoots quite well with them within the limits of range in which one would ethically hunt with such an arm.

These rifles are capable of astounding long range accuracy. They do, however, suffer enormously high trajectories out past about 150 yards. When shooting at fixed targets at known ranges, and allowed sighting shots, this is not an issue. When shooting at live game it is an insurmountable issue. So, the precision long range target sights are best left to the target range. They are kind of fragile as well, and just wouldn't hold up to rough handling in the field.
