As a side note, I just shot a hogzilla at 5:00 am with my R92 chambered in 45 Colt. That rifle has the Weaver K4 Scout mounted on it. I woke up and went out to the kitchen to start the coffee pot and WOW! To big old boys where out in my ranch yard rooting through some pecan tree clippings that I stacked just for that purpose. I'm guessing they both were pushing 275 to 300#. I chose the meanest looking of the two and put my 290-grain bullet through his lungs. After working with my two peep sighted rifles yesterday, the action this morning has caused me to reflect a bit about them. It is very rare to see a hog after sunrise and before sunset. I suspect that may be 2% of the 150+ hogs we have killed this year were killed in those daylight hours so the question of dedicating a rifle to hog hunting with a peep is questionable to begin with.
This has left me pondering the fate of the 44 Mag barrel. I still think the 23" barrel is too long and would lop the barrel off this rifle as the 44 Mag gains next to nothing over 16". With the barrel sight issue I would not bother with any front sight installation, dovetail or screw. It would kind of make a goofy looking rifle look even goofier if that is possible.

I've wrapped a sheet of paper around the barrel at the 16" mark in the photo above. May be I ought to just get rid of the barrel as I already have two 44 Mag leverguns that are hard to beat.
